Index Returns
Index returns are a helpful way to see how we seek to minimize risk. By losing less in down markets, the probability of earning more is increased over a full economic cycle.

Bauer Wealth Global Growth Index Returns
The Bauer Wealth Global Growth Index is designed to provide long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in U.S. equities, international equities, and Treasuries. The Index is quantitatively designed using a risk-budgeting methodology. In general, roughly 95% of total risk is allocated equally across five equity factors, size, value, quality, momentum and volatility. Country exposure is typically allocated to 25% emerging markets, 25% developed International with 45% U.S. domestic. The remaining 5% of total risk is allocated to long-duration Treasuries.
The dollar weights are re-balanced monthly to match the desired risk budget. If correlations rise or overall volatility exceeds certain thresholds, the Index can incorporate a short position to large-cap U.S. equities and cash to help ensure diversification and limit overall volatility. The result is an Index that can potentially provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over multiple market cycles. There is no guarantee the Index will achieve its objective.
