ETFOptimize Investment Strategy Benefits

• CONTINUOUS PORTFOLIO GROWTH: Enjoy consistent asset growth – whether the market is bullish or bearish. Our strategies have an average Annual Return of 26.79% since inception (with an annual-return range of 12% to 35% for our most conservative to most aggressive strategy, respectively) and an average 2017 performance of 44% (with our top strategy producing a 64% return). The objective of each approach is to attain steady, exceptional growth in all variety of economic and market conditions.

• SIGNIFICANT DRAWDOWNS ARE ELIMINATED: When a selloff or bear market strikes, your strategy will switch to the optimum ETF and continue logging profits. Drawdowns (peak to trough decline) are reduced to less than 30% of the S&P 500 or nearest benchmark's worst decline. Perhaps best of all, our strategies have been profitable every year since inception (66 of 66 consecutive years) and some strategies even produced their best 1-year performances during the Financial Crisis.

• EXCEPTIONAL RISK-ADJUSTED RETURNS: Our sophisticated, quantitative ETF-selection systems analyze 38 different data series to identify the appropriate market exposure and optimum ETF to own at any given time. The result is robust performance regardless of the market environment. With upside performance significantly increased and drawdowns dramatically reduced, the ETFOptimize strategies may produce the most consistent, highest Risk-Adjusted Returns you have ever seen.* In fact, the ETFOptimize strategies have an average risk-adjusted (Sortino) ratio across all models of 2.11,* compared to the S&P 500 at 0.73.

• OUTPERFORMANCE: The ETFOptimize strategies outperformed their benchmarks (such as the S&P 500) in 59 of 66 years – by an average of 22.51% per year!*

*Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future returns

Ignoring the Nattering Nabbobs of Bear Market Negativism
(Published for subscribers on Dec. 10, 2018)

• The financial media has been painting a very negative picture as the market slumped throughout October and November.

• But despite the negative speculation, the U.S. economy remains sound, with robust trailing and near-term growth statistics.

• So far, the S&P 500 has only experienced a decline of slightly more than -10%, and there are no signs that a bear market is imminent.

For investors who regularly consume the financial media, market activity since early October has been extremely unnerving. The vast majority of "nattering nabobs of negativism," to coin the old Spiro Agnew characterization of the media (in this case, guests on CNBC, Fox Business, or bloggers across the internet), is overwhelmingly packed with bearish interpretations of conditions, despite the fact that stocks have only suffered a relatively minor, superficial wound and the economy remains sound at this point in time.
