Timed Large Growth Stocks
Folio Statistics (As of 12-30-2005)
*Since Inception Date: October 3, 2003
Investment performance figures starting with the 2nd quarter of 2004 are based on actual results of a representative client. Prior to the 2nd quarter of 2004, performance figures are based on our model account since its inception. These figures do not include investment management fees.
Objective
Our research has demonstrated that within each stock sector, some leading stocks may experience above average price momentum for several weeks to a year or longer. The upward momentum in these leading stocks will often continue to prevail even as the sector average begins a downward trend.
In order to participate in these stronger momentum stocks, we utilize a trend following strategy to buy and sell individual stocks.
The objective of this strategy is to achieve above average returns in stocks by investing in top performing growth stocks in 5 different sectors during up-trends and preserve capital by switching out of the various stocks to money market funds when it's sector is weak. The benchmark index for comparison is the S&P 500 Composite Index.
Investment Approach:
We monitor the trends of each of the following 5 growth oriented sectors on a daily basis.
For each of the 5 sectors, we will hold one stock in each sector as long as the sector remains in an up-trend or the individual stock that we own in the sector remains in an up-trend.
If the stock that we own in a sector begins a down-trend then we will sell the stock. If it's sector is also in a down-trend, we will invest the proceeds in a money market fund. If it's sector is in an up-trend, we will invest the proceeds in another leading stock in the sector. The leading stock is selected from a current candidate list of leading stocks (see right column).
To be able to determine changes in trend we use a proprietary trending indicator based on the rate of change in price. It is designed to respond quickly to trend changes without overreacting to volatility.
