Retirement Planning Group LLC has significantly reshuffled its ETF portfolio, with two moves standing out: a major boost to its Touchstone Securitized Income ETF (TSEC) stake and a more than twofold increase in Pimco Total Return ETF (BOND) holdings, according to Ticker Report. The firm now holds 366,584 shares of TSEC, valued at roughly $9.45 million, after buying 288,144 additional shares.
The moves reflect a broad portfolio rebalancing. The group is tilting toward fixed income, trend-following strategies, and large-cap stocks, while trimming at least one bond position. The filings paint a picture of a firm actively repositioning capital across a wide range of ETFs.
TSEC and BOND Stakes Get the Biggest Bumps
Retirement Planning Group's TSEC position is now 366,584 shares, representing about 6.49% of the ETF. The firm bought 288,144 new shares to get there. At roughly $9.45 million, TSEC is now one of the group's larger ETF holdings, according to Ticker Report.
The BOND position saw an even sharper jump in percentage terms. The firm raised its stake by 230.2%, bringing it to 59,552 shares worth about $5.50 million. That kind of increase signals a strong conviction shift toward broad-based, actively managed bond exposure. BOND tracks a wide range of investment-grade bonds and is run by Pimco, one of the world's largest bond managers.
New Position in Trend-Following TRND Fund
The group also opened a brand-new position in Pacer Trendpilot Fund of Funds ETF (TRND), buying 66,767 shares valued at around $2.21 million. That stake equals about 4.17% of the entire ETF, making Retirement Planning Group a meaningful holder right from the start, per Ticker Report.
TRND is a "fund of funds," meaning it holds other ETFs rather than individual stocks or bonds. It follows a trend-following strategy, shifting between risk-on and risk-off positions based on market momentum. The new stake suggests the group wants some built-in protection if markets turn volatile.
FELC Added While KORP Gets Cut
On the equity side, the firm added 88,279 shares of Fidelity Enhanced Large Cap Core ETF (FELC), worth roughly $3.20 million. That is about 0.05% of the ETF. FELC uses a quantitative model to pick large-cap U.S. stocks, giving the portfolio a data-driven tilt toward big American companies, according to Ticker Report.
Not every position grew. The group cut its stake in American Century Diversified Corporate Bond ETF (KORP) by 37.0%, leaving it with 63,161 shares worth about $2.94 million. KORP focuses on investment-grade corporate bonds. The trim suggests the firm is rotating away from traditional corporate credit and toward other parts of the fixed income market.
What the Moves Say About Retirement Planning Group's Strategy
Taken together, the trades show a firm diversifying in multiple directions at once. It is adding securitized bonds through TSEC, broad bond exposure through BOND, trend-following flexibility through TRND, and large-cap equity upside through FELC. Few positions were cut — KORP was the notable exception, per Ticker Report.
The overall picture is one of a firm preparing for uncertainty. By spreading capital across fixed income types, factor-based equity, and trend-following funds, Retirement Planning Group is building a portfolio designed to hold up in different market conditions. The moves were all reported in the latest SEC Form 13F filing, which covers the first quarter.
