11 What is Risk? Which line is more risky? Why? 11
12 How Can We Measure Risk? Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a measure of volatility; volatility implies risk. Assuming two investment choices that were expected to provide the same return but one has a fraction of the expected risk, which investment would you select? Standard deviation has some limitations. 12
13 Limitations of Standard Deviation A constant return line is shown as a straight line on a log chart. By definition, a constant return line has a standard deviation of 0%. Standard deviation does not account for the strength of a trend. 13
14 Limitations of Standard Deviation Standard deviation does not differentiate between upside and downside volatility. It is best to measure standard deviation in context of something else (i.e. return). 14
15 Risk vs. Reward 12/29/ /31/2014 Past performance is not an indication of future results. There is a trade-off between risk and return. As investors, we can control the amount of risk we expose ourselves to but we cannot control returns. For a given level of risk, we should strive to achieve as much return as possible. 15
16 Drawdown A Measure of Downside Volatility -0.90% -0.25% -0.21% -0.64% Maximum Drawdown -4.95% Most investors are concerned with downside volatility. Drawdown (or retracement) measures the % price decline from a peak to a trough. The maximum drawdown for WVCCX from 07/31/ /30/2013 was 4.95%. Drawdown does not measure the duration of the decline. 16
17 Ulcer Index vs. Ulcer Performance Index Ulcer Index (UI) is a measure of downside volatility that considers drawdown and duration. A lower UI value represents less volatility. The Ulcer Performance Index (UPI) combines drawdown, duration and trend strength into a single calculation. The higher the UPI the better the risk- adjusted return. 17 Risk Measure VFSIX OHYAX UI UPI Annualized Return 9.0% 31.5%

22 Setting Stops A stop is a pre-determined point at which you will sell a security. The purpose of setting stops is to protect your capital by taking the emotion out of your trading. Types of stops: Moving Average Stops Technical Stops Be consistent with your use of stops. Having a stop and acting upon the stop when triggered is more important then the actual stop itself. 22
23 Using Moving Averages with Low Volatility Funds A B Timed drawdown (A B) is very predictable. Total drawdown (A C) is not predictable. D 50-day Moving Average E C Timed drawdown is the % decline from a peak to the point it crosses the moving average; total drawdown is the % decline from a peak to a trough prior to crossing above the moving average. Timed drawdown for HY (A B) is 1.2%; a lot better than the total drawdown (A C) of 31.4%. Timed drawdown for HY using a 50-day MA for the last 24 years is generally between 1%-3%. Whipsaws or unprofitable trades (i.e. D E) are a cost of protecting capital. 23
24 Other Low Volatility Investment Examples Timing with a 50-Day Moving Average 1/3/2006 5/14/2015 Investment Annualized Return Standard Deviation Maximum Draw Down Switches Per Year Floating Rate Bonds 7.85% 0.48% -2.12% 2.03 Junk Bonds 12.10% 0.80% -2.98% 2.78 Muni Bonds 5.81% 0.63% -3.01% 4.06 High Yield Muni Bonds 9.32% 0.66% -4.15% 2.99 Emerging Market Debt 9.11% 1.11% -4.71%
25 Moving Averages Not Useful for Most Funds 50-day Moving Average Volatile funds do not make good candidates for moving average timing. Equity, index, market sector, global, commodity and other funds are better suited for trend line analysis. 25
26 Support, Resistance & Trendlines T1 Useful for More Volatile Investments R1 R1 T2 S1 S1 Support (S1), resistance (R1) and trendlines (T1, T2) are simply tools that help us visualize the trend of a fund. There is always risk when investing; however, using trendline analysis we can identify breakouts and breakdowns to reduce our risk. 26
27 Setting Stops with Trendline Analysis US Dollar Index ETF (UUP) An Example S1 / R1 A B T1 UUP was in a strong uptrend since mid From July 2014 to the peak, UUP increased a little over 24%. Through the use of trendline analysis investors can exit close to the peak. There is no right exit point. The stop you set will depend on your tolerance for risk. One reasonable stop at point B would result in a decline from the peak (A) of less than 4%. At the end of May 2015, support (S1) became resistance (R1). 27
28 Risk-Adjusted Returns Ability to Identify Low Volatility Opportunities As investors, we want to be able to reduce risk and increase returns. This can be done by identifying asset classes with appropriate risk/reward characteristics. Moving from the S&P 500 (red line) to a lower volatility strategy (green line) reduces risk and increases returns. What if you apply timing techniques (blue line)? Consider using margin (purple line). 28
29 Seeking Better Risk-Adjusted Returns July 25, a.m. noon Veteran s Memorial Complex Join us for a complimentary investment training session that will include discussions on: Managing Investment Risk including details on the Ulcer Index (UI) and Ulcer Performance Index (UPI) Creating Low Volatility Strategies including identification of funds and establishing entry and exit points. Using Margin to enhance returns on low volatility portfolios We will also provide examples of how you might have avoided steep losses during previous market declines. Coffee will be provided Invite a guest that might benefit from the discussion.
