ETF PM REPORTS PERFORMANCE FOR INVESTABLE BENCHMARKS
THOUSAND OAKS, CA; January 6, 2016 – ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM) today reported performance for the investable benchmarks through year-end 2015. For the full-year, the eMAC fell by 1% while the S&P 500 gained 1%. The Income & Growth portfolio also fell by 1%, and Income was down 2%.
The Investable Benchmarks are three passive core portfolios comprised of leading ETFs from Vanguard and iShares. Over the past 10-years, all three passive core portfolios delivered net annualized returns of 6% to 7%, or 85% to 102% in total return. These efficient portfolios yield over 2.0% per year with expense ratios under 0.20%.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Investable Benchmarks are an important starting point for all investors. ETF PM’s growth benchmark is an efficient multi-asset class (eMAC) portfolio based on David Swensen’s recommendation in “Unconventional Success.” Swensen’s performance managing Yale University’s multi-billion dollar endowment fund is leading Wall Street in many respects and his views have significantly broadened the industry’s perception of proper diversification.
