PFG Balanced Strategy Fund Class R (PFDBX) is a mutual fund offered by The Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (TPFG) that seeks total return by investing primarily in shares of underlying mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The fund allocates 50% to 70% of its assets to underlying funds focused on domestic equity securities across all market capitalizations, with a focus on growth of capital and current income; the remainder targets fixed income securities, including U.S. government, corporate debt, and high-yield instruments. It provides investors with a balanced allocation strategy emphasizing diversification through professionally managed underlying funds.
The fund, which has net assets of approximately $8.23 million, operates within the moderate allocation category (50-70% equity) and pays an annual dividend with a yield of around 0.40%. TPFG, the fund family sponsor headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, founded in 1984, manages a suite of multi-manager strategies including PFG Janus Henderson Balanced Strategy Fund variants, targeting financial advisors, broker-dealers, and self-directed brokerage accounts nationwide. Operations are U.S.-centric with no specified international segments.
In recent developments, TPFG appointed a new CEO in March 2024 to drive growth initiatives amid expanding its turnkey asset management platform. The firm continues to issue semi-annual shareholder reports and schedules of investments for its PFG funds, with the related PFG Janus Henderson Balanced Strategy Fund (inception October 2021) reporting net assets over $289 million as of mid-2024 and low portfolio turnover of 9%.
