Upside Participation in the Equity Markets

The portfolio performance is linked to the upside performance of the S&P 500.  Since July 1997, the annualized performance of "the Strategy" has been 11.14% before fees.

Defined Risk Upon Initiation of Investment

"The Strategy" caps downside risk and typically even eliminates this risk over a one-year period.  Note that we are not claiming an 80% success rate, which provides no assurance of future success, but rather a definable risk that is determined prior to investing.

Success is NOT dependent upon predictions

"The Strategy" does not rely on market timing, stock selection or crystal balls to be successful.  Strategy participants not only DO NOT CARE about market correction, but welcome it.  You will actually welcome a market crash since you will be able to PROFIT, not merely recover, from a rebound after a substantial market decline.  This is possible because your investment will be protected through this decline.

Protect Future Unrealized Gains

After initial investment, adjusting your guaranteed sale price can protect future unrealized gains.

Transaction and Tax Efficient

The primary component of the portfolio is never sold. and therefore minimizes tax consequences.  This features is in stark contrast to most mutual funds that  annually liquidate up to 50% of their portfolio.
