ETF PM REPORTS PERFORMANCE FOR INVESTABLE BENCHMARKS
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA; April 1, 2024– ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM) today reported performance for the investable benchmarks through March 2024. Year-to-date, the investable benchmark portfolios returned 4% to 10%. The S&P 500 and Long-term Treasuries delivered 10% and -4%, respectively.
The Investable Benchmarks are four passive core portfolios comprised of leading exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are explained in our book. Over the past 10.3 years, we estimate that these strategic core portfolios delivered net annualized returns of 8% to 19% or total returns of 113% to 488%. These efficient portfolios yield between 1.8% and 2.6%, with expense ratios of 0.1% to 1.0%.
The Investable Benchmarks are an important starting point for all investors. These efficiently balanced portfolios each have roughly half of their exposure in stocks and bonds, and a 2% to 6% allocation in cryptocurrencies. In addition, the bond allocations are entirely in Long-term Treasuries to reduce risk. In 2017, we added the Income & Tech 3x portfolio (IT 3x) for aggressive growth investors and cryptocurrency exposure was added at year-end 2020 and 2021.
