How did your investments do?  We would love to have you as a client if you are not already.  Please call us to discuss how we can help you grow your investments while protecting you during volatile declines.

Did you know the average mutual fund performed worse than the market … in fact in 2012 (according to CNN) only 21% of all mutual funds beat the market! http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/23/pf/fund_manager_performance.moneymag/index.htm

Worse still, study after study shows that only 1 out of 4 investment advisors and money managers beat the market.  Want to beat the market by paying a professional … you’ve got a 25% chance it will happen L

I challenge you to check YOUR year-end brokerage statements, you will probably be shocked to find that YOUR investments for 2012 did worse than if you just bought a passive index fund and didn’t pay your investment advisor (or active mutual fund) to manage your money.

The difference is quite stunning, on a $1,000,000 account this would have resulted in an additional $160,000 in your pocket (compared with the SP500) or $16,000 on a $100,000 initial investment.

Less risk overall - What’s most impressive is that the returns were achieved while taking LESS risk.  The market corrected hard twice this year.  Measuring drawdown, the Nasdaq fell over 12% (from March 26^th through June 1^st), while Resnn’s accounts only fell 2.9% in the same time period, and again (from September 14^th through November 15^th) the Nasdaq fell 10.9% while Resnn’s accounts fell 8.8%.  Drawdown is measured by taking the highest point to the lowest point, to measure how much your portfolio would have been affected at its’ worst point in time … a good measure of risk.

In Cash half the year – Our client accounts were in cash almost half of the year (48% of the time).  Cash is a valid place to protect your money in volatile, unhealthy times!

Day Trading?  no way!  our average hold time is 3 months.  In fact this year we have only placed 12 round trips trades (24 total trades).

2013 is starting out quite impressively and we are hopeful that it will continue to be a stellar year for all investors, but history shows that the market goes through 2 to 3 corrections every year.  We look forward to keeping our client accounts protected and growing regardless of what the future has in store for us.

I invite you to call me personally to discuss your current investment strategy and how we can help you achieve your long term financial goals.

Respectfully,
