The program is an investment advisory program with continuous and regular supervision of investments by WS Wealth Managers Inc. using the advanced brokerage custodian platform provided by FOLIOfn Investments.

Combinations of stocks, exchange traded funds (ETF's), Closed End Funds (CEF's), as well as limited fixed income securities and mutual funds are combined into "model" FOLIO's designed to accomplish specific investment objectives. Subcriptions to certain combinations of FOLIO's and periodic modifications are designed to provide for superior risk management and an efficient and optimized form of Dynamic Asset Allocation custom tailored to each investor.

A "typical" portfolio in the program, analyzed using Morningstar Office software indicates a high degree of diversification with 1500 equity and 500 fixed income holdings. This level of diversification is possible, even in smaller accounts, in part because of the ability of the FOLIOfn platform to trade fractional shares.

WS Classic Defense I Description

Defense in this case is not related to the "Defense Industry" but rather "defensive" in regards to portfolio investment strategy with the goal of capital preservation.

Defensive diversified supplemental portfolio for periods of uncertainty and/or when equity markets are deemed to be overvalued and likely to decline for a protracted period. Could be used as core holding for investors with extreme risk aversion however this is not intended purpose. Overweighted allocation to Consumer Staples. Normal allocation is 40-55% Equity (90% + Domestic) and 60-45% Fixed Income. Fixed Income allocation is adjusted from time to time depending on CIO's assessment of interest rate risk. Utilizes some exposure to 20 year Treasury ETF that outperforms during periods of interest rate declines that sometimes occur during equity market declines. Can move to as much as 80% short term tactical Fixed Income allocation using 7-10 year Treasury ETF. Standard Deviation targeted at 20-40% of S&P500.  Target Beta of less than 0.30 compared to S&P500.

Past performance does not predict future performance. All investments are subject to risk and future performance is uncertain.
