The portfolio gained 1.7% for the month of August, bringing our year to date return to -2.4%.* The S&P lost 4.7% over the month. We are pleased to have outperformed our benchmark. Our shares positions outperformed the market slightly, while of course the low-volatility bond positions held their ground.
* We report the percentage gain or loss during a month in an additive sense for ease of comparison, however the year-to-date returns are reported as a chained series. As the total return become greater, and as inflows have an effect on the portfolio, the two will diverge. Adding up the monthly returns for the year may not give the precise total return.
