THOUSAND OAKS, CA, May 05, 2013 (Press-News.org) ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM) today reported performance for the investable benchmarks through April 2013. Year-to-date (YTD), the eMAC returned 7.7% while the S&P 500 gained 12.6%. Income & Growth rose by 5.9% and Income was up 4.2%.
The investable benchmarks are three passive core portfolios comprised of leading ETFs from Vanguard and iShares. Over the past 10.3 years, the benchmarks returned 9% to 10% annually, or 153% to 177% in total return. These strategic portfolios yield over 2.3% per year with expense ratios under 0.20%.
The investable benchmarks present tough competition for active management. ETF PM's growth benchmark is an efficient multi-asset class (eMAC) portfolio based on David Swensen's recommendation in "Unconventional Success." Swensen's performance managing Yale University's multi-billion dollar endowment fund is leading Wall Street in many respects and his views have significantly broadened the industry's perception of proper diversification.
