Investable Benchmark Update (9/14)

October 16, 2014 By dkreinces

ETF PM REPORTS PERFORMANCE FOR INVESTABLE BENCHMARKS

THOUSAND OAKS, CA; October 17, 2014 – ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM) today reported performance for the Investable Benchmarks through September 2014. Year-to-date (YTD), the eMAC returned 5.7% while the S&P 500 gained 8.2%. Income & Growth rose by 9.1% and Income was up 12.6%.

The investable benchmarks are three passive core portfolios comprised of leading ETFs from Vanguard and iShares. Over the past 10.8 years, all three passive core portfolios returned over 8% annually, or 136% to 139% 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 present tough competition for active management. 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.

Absolute Return Strategies

ETF PM also specializes in disciplined ETF trend following. The firm provides a dynamic range of strategies that seek to deliver positive returns in all market environments. The firm’s trend following strategies delivered gains in the crash of 2008, and ETF PM focuses on hybrid portfolios that combine trend following with indexing.

Pledge to Give Back

In order to partner directly with clients and the community, ETF PM created a Pledge to Give Back. On an annual basis, ETF PM donates a percentage of each client’s advisory fee to the school or charity selected by the client.

Since 2010, the 42 entities supported by ETF PM include 10 Schools (public & private), two YMCAs, Alzheimer’s Foundation, Khan Academy, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Ronald McDonald House New York, School on Wheels, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Unity Shoppe, and more.
