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 Conservative 40/60 I (Special)

Minimum $20,000 Investment


Diversified core portfolio for conservative long term growth and lower risk. Income from dividends and interest designed for target of 5% yield. Normal allocation is 40% Equity (15% International, 25% Domestic) with 60% Fixed Income. Fixed Income may have higher risk securities. Essentially made up of three (3) securies: A Vanguard no load mutual fund sub-advised by Wellington Management; a Global Value oriented stock ETF; and a 7-10 year Treasury ETF.  Can increase allocation toward shorter term treasuries during periods of rising interest rates. Can move to as much as 80% short term tactical Fixed Income allocation using 7-10 year Treasury ETF if CIO believes that Equity markets are extremely overvalued. (According to Morningstar Xray software, the FOLIO includes positions in more than 600 stocks and 600 bonds. Mostly Large-Cap, but with around 10% Mid-Cap.)  (Vanguard fund has a $10,000 minimum.) Equity style is heavily oriented toward Value. Standard Deviation targeted at 35-50% of S&P500.

Past performance does not predict future performance. This FOLIO is intended for use in relatively larger accounts, as a supplement to WS Moderate Core I and WS Classic Defense I with the objective of increased diversification, not only of securities but of management judgment.
