Investment Objective
Generate annual returns significantly higher than the S&P 500 index returns.
Question For Any Asset Manager: Can You Beat The S&P 500?
The way to win is to:
Be dynamic with cash allocation and borrowing from our broker.
Buy and sell individual S&P 500 equity names but no shorting.
Have strategies grounded in analytics.
Be Dynamic
You don’t always have to invest 100% of your cash, 100% of the time.
There are also times you want to borrow cash to buy more than 100% of your portfolio in other assets.
