A word about Tilted Index Portfolios The Tilted Index Portfolios are benchmarked against the Dow Jones 30, NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, S&P 400, S&P 600, BARRA Growth and BARRA Value indices. The actual buy and sell signals are determined by Tactical Analytics, Inc., who is a sub-advisor on all the Tilted Index Portfolios. Indices were never created to be investments. They were invented by Dow Jones, Standard & Poor’s, Wilshire, Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Goldman Sachs and various others as a way to explain an economy or measure a sub-set of an economy. Over time Indices were used to benchmark portfolio manager performance. Unfortunately, most investment managers have not been able to outperform these benchmarks over time.
