Upside Participation in the Equity Markets

The portfolio performance is linked on the upside performance of the S&P 500.  Since July 1997, the actual performance of "the Strategy" has been approximately 11% before fees.

Defined Risk Upon Initiation of Investment

"The Strategy" caps downside risk and the risk is typically eliminated over a one-year period.  *We are not claiming an 80% success rate, which provides no assurance of future success, but rather a definable risk that is determined before 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.  Again, you will welcome a market crash.  You will be able to PROFIT, not merely recover, from a rebound after a substantial market decline.  This is possible because your investment after the market decline (initial cost and earned profits) will approximate your investment before the market decline.

Protect Future Unrealized Gains

After initial investment, adjusting your guaranteed sale price can protect future unrealized gains.  In other words, investors do not need to worry about protecting unrealized gains and thus avoid realized gains and missing potential future stock market price increases.

Transaction and Tax Efficient

The primary component of the portfolio is never sold.  As a result, the tax consequences are minimal as apposed to most mutual funds that liquidate about 50% of their portfolio annually.
