THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Jan. 3, 2018 - PRLog -- ETF Portfolio Management (ETF PM) today reported performance for the investable benchmarks through year-end 2017. For the full-year, the four investable benchmark portfolios returned 15% to 72%. The S&P 500 gained 22% and long-term Treasuries rose by 9%.

The Investable Benchmarks http://etfpm.com/etf-portfolios/investable-benchmarks/ are four passive core portfolios comprised of leading exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Over the past decade, we estimate that these strategic core portfolios delivered net annualized returns of 7% to 32% or total returns of 103% to 1,450%. These efficient portfolios yield between 0.2% and 2.3%, with expense ratios of 0.1% to 1.0%.


The Investable Benchmarks are an important starting point for all investors. ETF PM's Income & Growth benchmark is an efficient multi-asset class portfolio that delivers 50% in risk assets (equity and real estate) and 50% in fixed income. The 2x and 3x versions use leveraged ETFs, including long-term Treasuries for fixed income, in order to enhance performance. The Income & Tech 3x portfolio is our latest addition for aggressive growth investors.
