All annualized figures reported as of 12/31/2023
Past performance is not a guarantee of future return, nor is it necessarily indicative of future performance. All investments involve risk, including the potential for loss of principal. Performance is shown net of fees and reflects the reinvestment of interest and dividends. Accounts in the composite are billed on a tiered fee schedule and larger accounts generally pay a lower overall fee rate than other accounts. Employee and other affiliated accounts, which are generally charged a reduced fee, are included in the composites. Personal Strategies generally employ investments in an array of individual securities and ETFs representing domestic equities, international equities, fixed income and alternative investments such as real estate and commodities. ETF-only strategies were not considered in performance calculations.
For both composite personal strategies and comparative benchmarks, returns were derived by linking respective quarterly returns. For each composite personal strategy, only accounts trading for an entire quarter were included. Prior to Q2 2021, all portfolios deviating more than two percent from the median composite return, in either direction, were excluded. Starting Q2 2021, for strategies with greater than one hundred portfolios, all those deviating more than ten percent from the median composite return, in either direction, were excluded. For those strategies with less than one hundred portfolios, the two percent deviation threshold continues to be used. Individual account performance will vary depending upon the amount of assets under management and the timing of any additions and withdrawals and may be higher or lower than the performance depicted. Figures reported are time-weighted returns.
Each comparative benchmark is a mix of total return for a portfolio of exchange traded funds intended to represent a blend of five major asset classes: US Equities, International Equities, US Bonds, International Bonds and Alternatives. Asset allocations of the comparative benchmarks are similar to respective Personal Strategies and serve as a reasonable benchmark for a basic long-term diversified approach with a similar risk level. All Personal Strategy returns are net of fees. The respective blended benchmark allocations, individual strategy assignment, and associated rebalancing are characteristics of a professionally managed portfolio. As such, a hypothetical quarterly fee of 0.2075% was deducted from all comparative benchmark returns. This fee represents the average of all Personal Capital clients as of 6/30/2017.
