The Week in Review
Performance updates from Cabana’s CEO
March 13, 2017
Market insight and a highlight of Cabana’s portfolio performance over the past week.
Cabana’s six portfolios range from “Conservative” to “Aggressive” and include an income strategy portfolio. Performance is from March 7, 2017 – March 13, 2017 and is presented net of advisory fees and commissions.
Over the past week all portfolios were up, with the exception of the Conservative and Alpha Income, which were down -0.17% and -0.42% respectively. The Growth Portfolio led and was up +.38%. All eyes are now on the response to the Fed interest rate decision and we are eager to see if there is a hint of a more rapid rise in the short end of the yield curve. As long as banks can pass along the rising rates to consumers who borrow at the long end of the curve, everyone is happy. The key of course is economic growth driving jobs, higher wages and consumer confidence. When economic growth falls, consumers won’t support higher rates by borrowing, the yield curve flattens and banks can’t make money on lending. What’s next? We will take it as it comes.
Year-to-date net-of-fees performance:
CONSERVATIVE +5.05%
MODERATE +5.78%
BALANCED +5.30%
GROWTH +6.22%
AGGRESSIVE +5.92%
ALPHA INCOME +2.67%
Performance is presented net of advisory fees and commissions (Conservative – Aggressive is presented net of 3% fees from January 1, 2017 – February 28, 2017 and 2% beginning March 1, 2017; Alpha Income is presented net of 2% fees)
