September 2011 Trade Alert!

September 19, 2011

We’ve executed a trade in both the Conservative and the Aggressive Powerfund Portfolios today, September 19th 2011. The main goal is a small increase in stock fund allocation by 5% for the aggressive portfolio and 1% for the conservative portfolio because stocks, while riskier, are more attractively priced than bonds after the slide in stocks this year. More important to our methodology, fund investors are taking money out of stocks and going into bonds at elevated levels. 

Note that while we are not increasing our stock allocation significantly in our Conservative Portfolio, we are shifting to significantly riskier bonds funds, notably a zero coupon bond ETF that is more volatile than stocks - yearly swings of 25%-50% are common with such bond fund, but can offer some offsetting protection in the case of a significantly slowing economy with falling inflation expectations.

The Aggressive Portfolio’s trade chart can be viewed by clicking here, and the Aggressive Portfolio’s trade calculator can be found here.

As always check with your fund or broker on short term redemption fees, if any, on selling fund shares and try to minimize all such fees. Also consider trying to book long term capital gains where possible. We have owned these funds for over a year but that doesn’t mean you have.
