ETFOptimize Strategy Benefits

• CONTINUOUS PORTFOLIO GROWTH: Enjoy consistent portfolio growth – whether the market is bullish, bearish, or sideways and volatile. Our strategies have an average return of 26.79% since inception (with a range of 13% to 36% for our most conservative to most aggressive strategy) 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. This results in outstanding risk-adjusted returns (an avg. Sharpe ratio of .*

• OUTPERFORMANCE: The premium ETFOptimize strategies outperformed their benchmarks (such as the S&P 500) in 46 of 48 years – by an average of 22.51% per year.*

• SIGNIFICANT DRAWDOWNS ARE ELIMINATED: When a selloff or bear market strikes, your strategy has already switched to the optimum ETF and is 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 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 for an investment strategy.*

The Coming Earnings Slowdown (That's Nowhere to Be Found)

Pundits spent the month of October, fishing for clicks as the market languished, by devising a sizable list of reasons a slowdown was imminent and was the source of the selloff. These rationales included the 'Trump trade war,' the Fed hiking too aggressively, a strengthening dollar, declining car sales, higher labor and raw materials costs, the slowing of China's domestic economy, an oversupply of oil, slowing home sales. However, the one factor that is perhaps the most tangible is that there will definitely not be another massive, US corporate tax cut in 2019 to match the one in 2018.

Our firm focuses on building high-profit, quantitative investment strategies based on various combinations of as many as 38 fundamental data series, and we maintain a disciplined avoidance of the investment industry's rampant use of 'expert opinion' to fuel discretionary investment decisions. Instead, we advise investors to rely 100% upon carefully crafted, quantitative indicators that provide high-probability signals in our high-performance investment strategies.

In many instances, these key indicators provide investors with very different information that what they might be reading in the financial media or hearing from the 'experts' on television. In fact, according to one of our key indicators – our Progressive-Blend Earnings Composite (PBEC) – at this time there is no reason to fear an imminent slowdown in earnings at all. In this article, we will break down our PBEC into its past, present, and future components to demonstrate that objectively, signs of an earnings slowdown in the coming months – so far – are nowhere to be found.
