We developed our "Full Cycle" approach in response to the many investors that suffered significant setbacks during the market declines of 2000-2002. 

• An investor that owned an S&P 500 index fund suffered (37%) decline in 2008, and a similar decline of (37.7%) from 2000-2002
• Investors were reminded that what matters the most is how your portfolio performs over the "full cycle" of up and down markets. 
• Thus we set off to show how careful diversification reduces risk while producing attractive risk-adjusted returns across the long-term economic ups and down that can be called the "full cycle". 
• Attached below is a document highlighting one of our "Full Cycle" portfolios and showing historic performance.

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
