** Class 3 Results are computed by DAL from its monthly Newsletter (NoLoad
FundX) and checked by The
Hulbert Financial Digest.
Index Returns are from Weisenberger
Financial CO
Disclosures:
NoLoad FundX is published by DAL Investment Company and incorporates our
Upgrading strategy. Funds that are included in the newsletter are segregated
into 4 risk classes based on historical volatility. As historical performance is
not predictive, funds are reviewed periodically and may be moved to a different
risk class if it is determined that recent performance justifies a change. Class
3 is our recommended risk category of higher quality no load mutual funds that
have historically demonstrated a risk profile similar to that of the S&P 500.
The universe of funds in Class 3 is not constant and includes both actively and
passively managed funds. NoLoad FundX Class 3 is a model portfolio and does not
reflect actual trading. DAL managed accounts experience different results.
Hulbert Financial Digest is an independent publication that tracks the
performance of investment newsletters. Hulbert began tracking NoLoad FundX in
mid 1980, and maintains a hypothetical portfolio by purchasing the 5 top rated
funds from the first page of our newsletter in Class 3. He then holds these
positions until he receives the next month's issue at which time he rebalances
to that month's top 5 funds. Although fund imposed redemption fees are factored
into the results, brokerage fees, taxes and any outside management fees such as
those imposed by DAL Investment Company are not. If applicable, these additional
costs would have a negative impact on one's actual returns.
Results shown are based on calendar years only. Actual results fluctuate in
value on a daily basis and therefore inter-year results would be different
(either better or worse) than those shown. Some of the most volatile periods
have historically occurred and corrected themselves within a given year. In
2000, for example, the S&P 500 lost 9.1% for the calendar year but lost as much
as 15% between 3/24 and 12/21. Each of the indexes shown are for comparison
purposes only. Both the indexes and model portfolio assume reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains. They do not represent actual investments and are
simply used as commonly seen benchmarks to demonstrate the general market
environment in each of the calendar years shown. While the model portfolio
invests in mutual funds that have internal fees reflected in the reported
performance, both the indexes and the model portfolio are presented without any
external management fees.
As with all historical data, past performance is not an indication of future
results. Investments in equity mutual funds such as those reflected in the
performance figures above carry an inherent element of risk including the
potential for an actual loss of principal. Hypothetical performance such as that
shown above does not take into consideration a variety of real world factors
including investment preferences or capital inflows and outflows and actual
results may vary.
