Market Update
Dear Fellow Investor,
Our strategies performed very well in 2017 and even though the overall market advanced, we experienced greater returns. I attribute these greater returns, or alpha, to our unique blend of strategic and tactical investing. Looking forward to 2018 I'm closely watching the markets, both stock and bond valuations, and so far the trend hasn't changed. However if the trend does change I'll adjust the strategies as appropriate to protect capital.
Below you'll see the YTD Total Return Numbers, Gross of Fee's* as of 12/31/2017.
EAM - Conservative Strategy: 17.81%
EAM - Moderate Strategy: 19.84%
EAM - Moderately Aggressive Strategy: 26.03%
EAM - Aggressive Strategy: 29.50%
