The 50/50 Composite includes all discretionary, fee-paying portfolios with a target allocation of 50% equities and 50% fixed income as specified in the client’s investment policy statement. The composite seeks equal balance between capital appreciation and income generation through investment in U.S.-based common stocks and high-quality bonds. U.S.-based common stocks are predominantly selected for quality characteristics including financial strength, competitive position, and sustainable business models. This balanced allocation emphasizes capital preservation with moderate growth potential. Portfolios primarily invest in individual securities rather than pooled investment vehicles. The strategy does not currently and has not used exchange-traded derivatives (e.g., index options or futures), leverage or short positions.
Composite Creation Date: November 1, 2019
Material Risks: This composite maintains lower volatility through equal equity and fixed-income exposure but remains subject to market risks. The 50% fixed-income allocation provides substantial downside protection but cannot eliminate losses during severe market stress. During the financial crisis of 2007–2009, this benchmark declined by approximately 29.7% before recovering. Concentrated positions in individual stocks increase security-specific risk. Interest rate risk significantly affects portfolio value, with the substantial bond allocation declining when rates rise. Credit risk exists if bond issuers experience financial difficulty. Lower equity allocation reduces long-term growth potential and may lag inflation over extended periods. Suitable for conservative investors prioritizing capital preservation with modest growth.
Benchmark Description
Custom Benchmark Name: 50/50 RSP/AGG
The benchmark for the 50/50 Composite is a custom benchmark that consists of 50% allocation to the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) and 50% allocation to the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG).
Components:
1. 50% Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) – provides large-cap U.S. equity exposure with equal weighting
2. 50% iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) – provides broad U.S. investment-grade bond exposure
Rebalancing Process: The benchmark is calculated using each ETF’s daily total-return series and is rebalanced to the 50%/50% target weights on a daily basis. Daily blended benchmark returns are chain-linked to produce longer-period benchmark returns.
Calculation Methodology: Benchmark returns reflect the weighted combination of RSP and AGG total returns, including reinvested dividends and interest, net of each ETF’s internal expense ratio but before any advisory fees. Benchmark returns are based on the ETF’s last traded price as of the official closing market prices at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time close and are net of the ETF’s blended annual expense ratio of 0.115%.
