Financial Advisor Gives Investable Benchmark Grants to Students
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA (June 1, 2020) – ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM), a revolutionary financial advisory firm, has pledged $97,000 in charitable donations since 2010. The firm has a Pledge to Give Back in which a percentage of each client’s annual advisory fee is donated to fund student grants annually.
The total amount above includes $6,000 pledged for calendar year 2019 with half of the funds going to Investable Benchmark Grants and half going to a portfolio to provide these grants perpetually. This month, six students will each be awarded grants of $500.
Investable Benchmark Grants
The student grant winners will be asked to invest the $500 they each receive in the 3x Nasdaq 100 ETF (symbol: TQQQ). Students will also be given ETF PM’s book, titled “Investable Benchmarks: A Guide to ETFs Technology and Leverage.”
“Our intention is to give back by supporting financial literacy and independence. These grants are designed to share the lesson that leveraged diversification can be a free retirement nest egg,” said David Kreinces, ETF PM’s Founder and Portfolio Manager.
Universal Basic Investment
“This priceless lesson can help all investors, especially those most in need. We also believe that a similar model can facilitate universal basic income, and/or a subsidized living expense system, via a ‘universal basic investment’ in top equity index exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with moderate leverage.”
American Dream ETF
At ETF PM, we have named TQQQ the “American Dream ETF” for the following main reasons:
- The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) appears to be the “next-generation” S&P 500 (SPY/VOO) and it recently became one of just four ETFs to surpass $100 billion in assets. This dynamic ETF offers core equity diversification with a heavy focus on technology and growth.
- While past performance can never guarantee future results or positive returns, QQQ beat SPY this past decade returning 19% annualized versus 13% for the S&P 500. Adding moderate leverage, the 3x Nasdaq 100 (TQQQ) returned almost 43% annualized. At this outrageous rate of return, a $500 investment could grow to $2 million in 23 years. Even at a far lower 26% annualized return, $500 could still grow to $2 million in 36 years.
- Technology has been the strongest trend in recent decades and advancements in artificial intelligence are widely expected to deliver unprecedented levels of innovation ahead.
