Important Disclosure Information

Your use of this site is acknowledgment that you have read and understood our terms and disclaimers.

The FolioMetrix constructed portfolios – Model Portfolios – have been developed based on historical performance of an asset allocation neutral portfolio (consisting of no-load and exchange traded funds).  Since this is a Model Portfolio (hypothetical), there can be no assurance that a client would have achieved similar rates of return over the time frame.  In addition, since the time period in question is a historical one, there can be no assurance that future results achieved by clients will in any way resemble those represented by the Model Portfolios.

The performance charts are representative of a compilation of the selected funds to achieve a probabilistic return for a measured level of risk.  Model Portfolios are rebalanced on the first day of every month.  All performance data is total returns which includes interest and dividends.  The performance numbers do not include advisory fees, trading costs, or other fees or charges incurred by the execution of this model.

Returns are Not Actual, but are Proprietary Model Results – actual results may significantly differ from the theoretical returns being presented.   No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.  The model performance numbers do not include advisory fees, trading costs, or other fees or charges incurred by the execution of this model.  Model performance does not represent the profit or loss resulting from actual trades.  Theoretical trading does not involve financial risk and no theoretical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Because trades in the model portfolios do not represent actual trading, they may not reflect the impact of significant market and economic factors (such as lack of liquidity or float outstanding), certain events (such as significant corporate announcements), and other factors including market impact and opportunity costs related to the markets in general. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of model performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

In regards to the Equity model, Performance statistics for years 2008-2010 have been updated to reflect new methodologies employed during 2011.  The new methodologies utilize FolioGuard^™, FolioMetrix’s proprietary analytical solution that identifies when broad equity markets are underperforming and indicates when assets should be repositioned to cash.  As part of structural modeling,  FolioGuard is calculated daily to assure defensive portfolio posturing as necessary.  In 2008, the return increased by 9.97%; In 2009, the return increased by 0.02%; in 2010, the return increased by 0.77%.  although our methodology for determining the cash position of the model has changed materially, The methodology for selecting funds has only changed minimally during this time period.

Benchmark composite and benchmark index returns are presented for comparative purposes only. The index returns (S&P 500 TR Index and the BarCap US Agg Bond TR Index) are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses.  The index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.  You cannot invest directly in an index.

The S&P 500 TR, the benchmark index for equity models, is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. equities market; this world-renowned index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.  Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. The 500 stocks are selected by the S&P Index Committee.  The BarCap Us Bond Agg TR, the benchmark index for fixed-income models, is composed of the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index, the Mortgage-Back Securities Index, and the Asset-Backed Securities Index.

Deviation from the models has produced and will produce substantially different results.

Although we have done our best to present this information fairly, hypothetical performance is still potentially misleading. Hypothetical data does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of actual performance.  This data is based on transactions that were not made.  Instead, the trades were simulated, based on knowledge that was available only after the fact and thus with the benefit of hindsight. Results do not include the impact of taxes, if any.  Past Returns are not indicative of future results.
