The BBAE MarketGrader Growth and Income Portfolio
The Cumulative Return represents the total performance of the MarketGrader Model Portfolio over a 15-year backtesting period. It provides a measure of the overall growth of the portfolio during this timeframe, considering changes in value and any reinvested earnings. This metric offers a comprehensive assessment of the portfolio’s performance over the specified 15-year period. The inception date of all the MarketGrader Model portfolios is December 31, 2007.
The Annualized Return is a measure that quantifies the average annual growth rate of the MarketGrader model portfolio over a 15-year backtesting period. It takes into account changes in value and any reinvested earnings on an annual basis. This metric provides a standardized way to evaluate the portfolio’s performance over time, allowing for meaningful comparisons with other investments. By annualizing the returns, it offers insight into the portfolio’s average yearly growth rate, enabling investors to assess its long-term profitability. The inception date of all the MarketGrader Model portfolios is December 31, 2007.
The Annualized Standard Deviation measures the volatility or risk associated with the MarketGrader Model Portfolio’s returns over a 15-year backtesting period. It quantifies the average dispersion of returns around the portfolio’s mean annual return. By annualizing the standard deviation, it provides a standardized measure of risk on an annual basis, allowing investors to assess the portfolio’s volatility over time. A higher annualized standard deviation indicates greater fluctuation in returns, while a lower value suggests more stable performance. This metric helps investors understand and manage the potential risk associated with the portfolio. The inception date of all the MarketGrader Model portfolios is December 31, 2007.
The Return/Standard Deviation is a measure that assesses the MarketGrader Model Portfolio’s performance relative to its volatility over a 15-year backtesting period. It is calculated by dividing the portfolio’s annualized return by its annualized standard deviation. The inception date of all the MarketGrader Model portfolios is December 31, 2007.
This ratio provides insight into the portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns, taking into account the level of risk or volatility that investors had to tolerate to achieve those returns. A higher Return/Standard Deviation ratio indicates a more favorable risk-return tradeoff, suggesting that the portfolio generated higher returns per unit of risk. On the other hand, a lower ratio may indicate that the portfolio’s returns were not sufficient given the level of volatility experienced.
By considering both returns and risk, the Return/Standard Deviation ratio helps investors evaluate the efficiency and consistency of the portfolio’s performance. It enables them to compare the risk-adjusted returns of the MarketGrader model portfolio against other investment options and make informed decisions based on their risk tolerance and return objectives.
How It Helps You
Our Growth and Income Portfolio aims to provide investors with the best of both worlds: capital appreciation that is in line with the broader market, and a targeted annual dividend yield of 4.5% to 5% - a substantial increase compared to the average yield of the S&P 500. To meet its dividend objectives, the Growth and Income portfolio consists of 100 carefully selected stocks, and MarketGrader uses the Dow Jones Select Dividend Index as a benchmark for comparison.
Keep In Mind
Smart beta portfolios are specifically designed to serve as diversified building blocks within your investment portfolio. In the realm of smart beta, "success" typically translates to achieving moderately improved risk-adjusted returns compared to the overall market. It is worth noting that smart beta strategies may exhibit higher standard deviations (a measure of risk) compared to their respective benchmarks. However, the metric of return per unit of standard deviation is often considered more crucial when evaluating their performance.
Who It's For
BBAE's Growth and Income Portfolio is highly regarded among income-seeking investors who prioritize more than just yield in their portfolio's key components. Instead, they seek a well-diversified building block that offers a generous yield while maintaining risk levels comparable to a broad index. For enhanced diversification with reduced risk, consider complementing it with BBAE's Fixed Income portfolio, allowing you to diversify your yield effectively.
