Premier Investment Factors
The relative strength strategy is NOT a guarantee. There may be times where all investments and strategies are unfavorable and depreciate in value. Relative Strength is a measure of price momentum based on historical price activity. Relative Strength is not predictive and there is no assurance that forecasts based on relative strength can be relied upon to be successful or outperform any index, asset, or strategy. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Potential for profits is accompanied by possibility of loss. Source: Ken French Data Library DORSEY WRIGHT

Disclosures Dorsey, Wright & Associates, LLC, a Nasdaq Company, is a registered investment advisory firm. Registration does not imply any level of skill or training. Some performance information presented is the result of back-tested performance. Back-tested performance is hypothetical (it does not reflect trading in actual accounts) and is provided for informational purposes to illustrate the effects of the strategy during a specific period. Back-tested performance results have certain limitations. Back-testing performance differs from actual performance because it is achieved through retroactive application of a model investment methodology designed with the benefit of hindsight. Performance results (both backtested and model performance) do not represent the impact of material economic and market factors might have on an investment advisor’s decision making process if the advisor were actually managing client money. Dorsey, Wright & Associates, LLC (collectively, with is parent company and affiliates “DWA”) believes the data used in the testing to be from credible, reliable sources, however; DWA makes no representation or warranties of any kind as to the accuracy of such data. The relative strength strategy is NOT a guarantee. There may be times where all investments and strategies are unfavorable and depreciate in value. Relative Strength is a measure of price momentum based on historical price activity. Relative Strength is not predictive and there is no assurance that forecasts based on relative strength can be relied upon to be successful or outperform any index, asset, or strategy. The returns of the strategies do not include dividends for stocks or ETFs but do account for distributions in mutual funds. Unless otherwise stated, returns of the strategies do not include all fees or other transaction costs. Management and other expenses can have a material impact on performance when compounded over time. Past performance, hypothetical or actual, does not guarantee future results. In all securities trading there is a potential for loss as well as profit. It should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance as shown.
