"The MAXfunds approach stands in stark contrast to other fund-ranking outfits. The rating system also has a strong contrarian streak. As everyone who's ever read a mutual-fund advertisement knows, 'Past performance does not guarantee future results.' Why then do most fund-ranking outfits rely so heavily on past performance in picking favorites?"

FOLLOW THE MONEY. THEN GO THE OTHER WAY.
Our managers pick the best funds in the most out-of-favor areas by analzying where the dumb money is going, and where it isn't. We buy mutual funds before they catch fire, not after.
We call these out-of-favor gems Powerfunds - high-quality no-load mutual funds that are being ignored by most investors - the very funds that are poised for market beating returns in the months ahead.
The Powerfund strategy focuses on:- Buying funds in out-of-favor categories before they get hot
- Holding funds until they reach full valuation
- Selling at the top
It's MAXadvisor's own brand of turbo-charged contrarian investing, zigging when other fund investors are zagging, and it works.
We've been managing the Powerfund Portfolios since 2002, and in that time each one, even the ultra-conservative Safety Portfolo (which is more than 70% bonds!), has soundly beaten the S&P 500 index.
