These are the same academic approaches utilized by sophisticated hedge funds, pension funds, and insurance companies – delivered by the Market Savings program without intermediaries, and with a reasonable fee that is only charged if the investment portfolios perform.
A direct investment in ETFs could provide greater or smaller returns, with the risk that you could lose some of your original investment.
