Despite significant non-equity holdings, it has beaten the market by 20% a year, racking up a 60.5% return, or 12.6% annualized, since it was launched on Nov. 28, 2003. In the same four years, the S&P 500 Index advanced 49.3%, or 10.5% annualized. Also over that period, the average moderate asset-allocation fund in the Morningstar Inc. database, the group to which Tim’s model would belong if it were a mutual fund, gained 39.4%, or 8.6% annualized. If the model were a moderate asset allocation mutual fund, it would have ranked in the top four percent for the period, beating 96% of rival portfolios.<\/p>\n Recent comments about TDI:<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Sponsor: Try GotoMyPC free for 30 days!
