What's so important about the chart and tables above?
Notice the 4 solid lines and the 2 dashed lines in the chart above. The 4 solid lines represent the current performance of the 4 Sage Investment Strategies Portfolios over the past year. The 2 dashed lines represent the performance of 2 key benchmarks: (1) the S&P 500 Index, represented by the black dashed line, and (2) a buy-and-hold portfolio consisting of 60% US stocks and 40% bonds, represented by the gray dashed line. Notice the differences between the Sage Investment Strategies portfolios and the benchmarks. The lines representing the 4 Sage Investment Strategies portfolios are relatively smooth and mostly in positive territory compared with the highly fluctuating lines of the 2 benchmarks which are mostly in negative territory. Which would you  choose?

How did we do in 2008? In the year of the great market meltdown, our subscribers protected themselves from devastating losses. Two of our portfolios were nearly even for the year while the other two made money. Here are the 2008 results:

SIS Basic Portfolio: -0.5%
SIS Diversity Portfolio: -0.9%
SIS Leveraged Diversity Portfolio: +4.1%
SIS Long & Short Portfolio: +9.6%

In addition to our superior returns compared to the market and a buy-and-hold portfolio, here are three little known or understood reasons why our easy investment strategies can help you make and hold onto your money better than just about anyone else:

Standard deviation (52-Wk Std Dev) measures volatility over the past 52 weeks. The larger the number, the more volatile and risky is the investment. In the table above, notice how volatile both the S&P 500 Index and the hypothetical portfolio of 60% stocks/40% bonds are compared to the Sage Investment Strategies portfolios.

Maximum drawdown (52-Wk Max DD) measures the worst drop in value over the past 52 weeks. It represents the percent difference between the highest value and the subsequent lowest value of a portfolio or benchmark. In the table above, notice how large the drawdowns are for both benchmarks compared to the four Sage Investment Strategies portfolios.

Sharpe Ratio (52-Wk Sharpe) measures how well the return of a portfolio or benchmark compensates the investor for the risk taken. Positive numbers are better than negative numbers and higher positive numbers signify better risk-adjusted returns. In the table above, notice how much the Sharpe Ratios of the Sage Investment Strategies portfolios exceed the Sharpe Ratios for the two benchmarks, indicating significantly better risk-adjusted returns. 

Few investment newsletters disclose their standard deviation, maximum drawdown and Sharpe Ratio. If they did, most potential subscribers would be turned off by the amount of risk involved.

What is the key to our successful results?
The key to our successful results is our proprietary SISTM - the Sage Investment Strategies Timing Model. The SISTM is an advanced mathematical investment model that tells us exactly what and when to buy and sell based on an analysis of price trends for a wide range of potential investments. Our SISTM is mathematically programmed to:

• Harness market trends to buy low and sell high
• Generate more consistent profits than the stock market
• Generate better risk-adjusted returns than a "buy-and-hold" portfolio
• Make money in both up and down markets
• Avoid prolonged market declines

 

While there is no such thing as risk-free investing, the Sage Investment Strategies Timing Model brings investors much closer to that ideal state compared to simply buying and holding a handful of index funds or ETFs and watching the bottom fall out of the market time and again. Our easy investment strategies provide an unemotional, straightforward investment approach that gives investors confidence and peace-of-mind.

How can I take advantage of your SISTM? 
First of all, why not take control of your investments and manage them yourself? Active portfolio management isn't rocket science and you will do a lot better than most investment professionals. You probably already own a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Rollover IRA, SEP, SIMPLE IRA, 401(k), 453(b), 457, or brokerage account. Maybe you set your account(s) on "automatic pilot" with one of the so-called "life cycle funds" or a handful of mutual funds and hoped for the best. All you need to do is to choose one of the Sage Investment Strategies portfolios that fits your needs and follow the signals generated by our SISTM. 

Nobody cares about your money as much as you do. You probably read some of the stories about the people who placed their personal or institutional wealth with Bernard Madoff. Some $50 billion of wealth evaporated when the market tanked, investors tried to cash out and his Ponzi scheme was exposed. 

All you need is an account at a reputable discount broker and a proven investment strategy like ours to follow. It doesn't matter whether you have $10,000 or $10 million to invest.

What about long term performance?
A respected portfolio manager and quantitative analyst by the name of Mebane Faber conducted a 33-year (1972-2005) back-test of the algorithm from which our SISTM is derived. The results of his testing, which he published in the Journal of Wealth Management, showed that the algorithm produced a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.92% compared to 11.24% for the S&P 500 over the 33-year test period. Even more significant, an investor following the strategy during the test period would have experienced a worst year return of +1.40% (not a single losing year) compared to a worst year return of -26.47% (loss) for the S&P 500 Index. And the model's volatility, as expressed by a statistical measure called "standard deviation", was only 6.61% for the 33-year period, just a fraction of the 17.47% volatility of the S&P 500 Index. So the model achieved better results than the stock market with much less volatility!

	Annual Return	Worst Year	Best Year
S&P 500 Index	11.2%	-26.5%	+37.6%
SISTM Mathematical Model	11.9%	+1.4%	+26.2%

 

This performance is amazing considering the tumultuous economic, financial and geopolitical events that took place during the test period!

How much time do I need to devote?
Our succesful market timing system is designed for the "investor with a life." Each week you'll review a concise report of market and economic highlights and an update on the performance of each of the Sage Investment Strategies portfolios. Every fourth week our SISTM performs a complete tactical asset allocation analysis which may result in new "buy" and "sell" signals. So at most you would need to tweak your portfolio every four weeks.

Unless you really like following the markets, you can forget about spending hours and hours per week watching CNN, Bloomberg or reading financial web sites. You can stop worrying about your investments or feeling panicked every time the market heads down. Our SISTM is designed to give you more confidence, freedom and clarity so you won't have to spend time researching the best strategic asset allocation or tactical asset allocation, risk adjusted returns or other financial ratios.
