WHY DO MANYINVESTORSMEANINGFULLY UNDERPERFORM?

The majority of financial investorshave not earned reasonable returns in relation to the market rewards andassociated risks. For example, as the bar chart on page 2 shows, from 1926 to 2018 global fixed income and equity annual returns averaged 5.3% and 9.9% before inflation, fees, and taxes. However, many investors have not even earned the 2.9% average inflation rate. That being said, viable studies show that the two major obstacles to successful investing are subjectivity (greed, fear, euphoria, hubris, etc.) and high fees.

Although there are always notable exceptions to basic facts, Midwest clearly understands these realities, andbuilds all portfolios to minimize their impact. In conclusion, with fixed and equity annual returns expected to be about 3.5% and 5.5% over the nextdecade, we encourage investors toconsider objective, cost-efficient strategies.*

WE CAN HELP YOU TO EARN HIGHER RETURNS WITH LESS RISKS

To earn competitive returns with $200,000 to $5,000,000 portfolios, Midwest creates and manages passive multi-asset portfolios in a highly disciplined and efficient manner(active management can also be engaged, but it is generally recommended for larger accounts). This structure helps toovercome subjectivity and high fees, and contrasts with manyactive managers who seek to outperform market indices, but generally underperform over time. Secondly, their charges are usually unwarranted in relation to the expected returns and risks.

Each of our portfolios is tailored to meet your unique goals, risk tolerances, income, and tax situation. Below are three sample percentage allocations.

Fixed Equities Alternatives

COST SAVINGS + COMPOUNDED GAINS = AN ENORMOUS ADVANTAGEExpenses are a better predictor of future investment returns than a manager’s track record, according to Morningstar and Vanguard.* Moreover, although bond and stock returns are uncertain, expenses should be transparent and controlled.

The results can be staggering when you eliminate unnecessarycharges. For example, a 40-year-old investor with a $1 million portfolio who lives until age 80 could accumulate up to $8 million more by improving annual net returns by just 2.0%!
