  Diversified Portfolio
 

Account Description

The account seeks to exceed U.S. broad market averages with lower risk by utilizing the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory. There is, of course, no assurance that these goals will be realized. Portfolio values will fluctuate as market conditions change. The account owns securities in the name of Wendover Capital, which is administered by Westminster, Hope & Turnberry, Ltd.

Investment Discipline
Wendover Capital’s advisors will employ the concepts of Modern Portfolio Theory, which focuses on attaining the highest expected return in conjunction with a given level of risk. This is achieved by selecting the appropriate asset class balance, predominantly using institutional asset class (index) funds that have no management risk. This academically accredited management approach has proven effective in avoiding the extreme market swings that can stifle real dollar growth. A simple example illustrating the importance of this:
 
Year 1
10%
Year 2
10%
Year 3
10%
Portfolio A:
$100,000
$110,000 $121,000 $133,100
20% -10% 20%
Portfolio B:
$100,000
$120,000 $108,000 $129,600
Based on William Sharpe’s 1990 Nobel Prize winning work, this demonstrates the critical difference between arithmetic and geometric returns; what amounts to a math trick. These two portfolios both have a 10% average annual return, yet there is a meaningful difference in real dollar account values, which would be dramatically greater with longer time periods and/or higher market volatility.

Account Administration
The account has retained the services of Westminster, Hope & Turnberry, Ltd. to administer and invest the portfolio that secures this account.  The investor understands and agrees that Westminster administers other investment funds and may effect transactions with respect to securities in which it, its officers, directors, employees and affiliates may have a direct or indirect financial interest.
