Algorithmic Risk MitigationAlgorithmic Risk MitigationHow the Alpha and Omega signals read short-term and longer-term market trend, and how their combined reading becomes a Bullish, Caution, or Bearish outlook.

AlphaAlphaThe portion of return above or below what the benchmark relationship alone would predict. Positive alpha indicates performance beyond benchmark exposure; negative alpha indicates less. (In this document, Alpha is also the name of our short-term market signal; the context makes clear which is meant.) & Omega are a pair of signals that focus on technical aspects of the equity market using a proprietary algorithmic process to interpret the short-term and long-term trend of equity markets such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 indices. The signals utilize various technical and momentum indicators to provide a Buy or Sell forecast for the short-term (Alpha) and a longer intermediate-term (Omega). These signals are then combined to provide an overall equity market outlook reading. When both signals indicate a Buy reading, we interpret this as a Bullish market outlook. When the signals are mixed, we interpret this as a Neutral or Cautious market outlook. When both signals indicate a Sell reading, we interpret this as a Bearish Outlook.

Returns presented for periods less than one year are not annualized.

SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500® Index. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by holding a portfolio of the common stocks that are included in the index (the “Portfolio”), with the weight of each stock in the Portfolio substantially corresponding to the weight of such stock in the index.

Performance and Risk Metrics are based on hypothetical model monthly return data and reflect the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Performance is presented using the U.S. Dollar currency. Results exclude any impact of cash flows such as contributions or withdrawals, as well cash balances or reserves except those specifically held by the model portfolio. Returns are presented net of a hypothetical 1.00% asset management fee as well as a hypothetical 3% maximum wrap advisory fee that is inclusive of a A Smarter Way to Invest's asset management fees. Potential custodial, trading and administrative expenses are not included, and these hypothetical fees may not reflect actual deducted fees applicable to a client's account. Investment returns will be reduced by advisory fees and other expenses charged in the management of a client's account. Clients should carefully review applicable fees and understand how advisory fees, compounded over a number of years, reduce the value of an investment portfolio, as investment balances and potential gains on the investment balances are reduced by fees. Additional information is provided in the SEC Investors Bulletin "How Fees and Expenses Affect Your Investment Portfolio."

Performance results are considered hypothetical as the results were not actually achieved by any specific investor or client portfolio and do not reflect trading in actual accounts. Hypothetical performance is not an indicator of future or actual results and is not a guarantee or implied guarantee of future performance, returns, profit, or growth. Actual performance may differ significantly from hypothetical performance as a result of client specific circumstances, including but not limited to: deposits and withdrawals, legacy positions and excluded holdings, account size, or cash reserves. General assumptions of hypothetical returns include: dividends and other income are reinvested; trades are executed based on end-of-day security pricing; A Smarter Way to Invest would have been able to purchase the securities recommended by the models and the markets were sufficiently liquid to permit all trading. Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the returns presented herein. Certain assumptions have been made for modeling purposes and are likely to differ from actual circumstances. No representations or warranties are made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions.

Monthly performance shown in this fact sheet includes back-tested returns from the period of 12/31/1999 through 9/30/2024. Live model returns began on 10/1/2024 and thereafter, and are calculated using model trades that occurred in actual accounts. Back-tested and hypothetical performance is not an indicator of future actual results and is not a guarantee or implied guarantee of future performance, returns, profit, or growth. No representation is being made that any account or strategy will or is likely to achieve a performance record similar to the returns presented herein. Actual performance may differ significantly from hypothetical and back-tested performance. The risk of back-tested performance is that the strategy was retroactively applied to historical data with the benefit of hindsight and can be adjusted in order to obtain and show more favorable performance results during the relevant historical time periods. Back-tested results inherently include biases in the results, including but not limited to: hindsight bias, survivorship bias, and look-ahead bias. There is no assurance that the back-tested methodology and assumptions applied by A Smarter Way to Invest have adequately mitigated these biases, and there is no assurance that back-tested results could, or would, have simulated actual client performance during the relevant time periods.

The investment strategy presented by A Smarter Way to Invest, Inc. is based on applying technical trading signals, Alpha and Omega, to the investment portfolio. Alpha and Omega utilize algorithmic techniques such as trend analysis, price-action movements, relative strength, volume, moving averages, and various momentum related strategies for determining the trade signal reading. There is no assurance that these strategies and techniques will yield positive outcomes or prevent losses. Technical trading models are mathematically driven based upon historical data and trends of domestic and foreign market trading activity, including various industry and sector trading statistics within such markets. Technical trading models utilize mathematical algorithms to attempt to identify when markets are likely to increase or decrease and identify appropriate entry and exit points. The primary risk of technical trading models is that historical trends and past performance cannot predict future trends and there is no assurance that the mathematical algorithms employed are designed properly, new data is accurately incorporated, or the software can accurately predict future market, industry and sector performance. The historical signal readings for Alpha and Omega have been back-tested from the period of 12/31/1999 through 9/30/2024 and have been developed with the benefit of hindsight. The risk of back-tested hypothetical results is that an algorithm can be revised or adjusted to obtain favorable performance results during the relevant historical time periods.
