<\/p>\nBALTIMORE, Md., June 20, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) \u2014 Charles Street Research (CSR), a financial research and publishing think tank based in Baltimore, Maryland, recently revealed a brand new performance index for one of their top research services.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Developed by Charles Sizemore, CSR\u2019s Chief Retirement and Income Strategist, the FLEX-10 Index tracks the performance of a model portfolio comprised of the market\u2019s top ten value and momentum stocks each month.<\/p>\n
Not to be confused with benchmark indexes like the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq, the FLEX-10 Index tracks a very small, selective group of stocks based on 27 different criteria. The index is updated monthly to reflect the rapidly changing market environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the past decade, many investors have felt like geniuses riding this ten-year bull market,\u201d Sizemore says of the new index. \u201cBut those outstanding gains have primarily been driven by about 10-20 high-flying stocks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, we\u2019re starting to see many of those stocks come under pressure. Anyone investing in a fund that tracks a broad market index is at increased risk in the months ahead. And if we\u2019re headed for a recession, anyone broadly invested in the market is likely to get crushed, just like in 2008.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sizemore\u2019s FLEX-10 Index is designed to perform in any market environment, including a hedged position when volatility starts to pick up.<\/p>\n
While he\u2019s the first to admit this strategy won\u2019t outperform the benchmarks every month, he\u2019s extremely confident in the long-term outlook.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe ran an aggressive backtest all the way back to 1999 to test this out. I\u2019m confident we\u2019ve covered just about every market condition, including two major market crashes. While recently value stocks have fallen a bit out of favor, I expect the FLEX-10 Index to vastly outperform the benchmarks over the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n
