5 reasons why you'll have greater piece of mind managing your retirement portfolio using MarketRiders

1. Use asset allocation - the smartest strategy for your Core portfolio
Most people still believe that the best way to manage their money is to either pick stocks themselves or pay for trusted advice from investment advisers, brokers, or mutual fund managers so that they can "beat the market." But for years, sophisticated families and elite institutions have achieved superior returns with a very different method of investing that was developed by Economics and Finance Nobel Laureates.

Their secret involves implementing a sophisticated asset allocation strategy with a globally diversified portfolio, keeping investment costs low and rebalancing their portfolios as markets ebb and flow. Because they don't pick stocks and they don't try to time the market, they have less stress than active traders. They are investing, not gambling.

With MarketRiders you too can, implement these strategies for your Core portfolio.

Want to play a hunch or capitalize on an insight you might have on a market trend? Make those investments in what experts call your "Explore" portfolio. But by managing your Core portfolio with MarketRiders, you will rest assured that you are doing right for you and your family by standing on the shoulders of some of the best investment minds in the world.

2. Protect your money from devastating fees and taxes
Having worked hard as a professional in your field, you understand what it means to be an expert at what you do. It seems logical that you could in turn hire professionals to provide outstanding investment returns.

But largely because of fees they charge, these pros fall tragically short of the index they compete against. In any given year, and depending on the index of comparison, 75% to 86% of money managers underperform the market. The real travesty is seen when you evaluate this performance out over time. Within ten years, over 90% of the pros underperform, and after 20 years, 97% underperform.

And worse for you, these management fees and taxes can mean the difference between your retirement in luxury or living in a tent.

Even a conservative analysis shows you're probably paying 3% of all your money every year, to have others help you manage it. Mutual funds charge annual loads averaging 1.25% and hidden 12b1 marketing expenses that together cost you on average about 1.5% a year. If you use an investment advisor, add another 1% to 1.5% a year. Finally, have you checked the taxes you're paying on your investments? On average mutual fund taxes erode 1% - 2% off your returns because managers churn all the stocks an average of once every 18 months. This produces capital gains and dreaded taxes each April 15th.

A MarketRiders portfolio is constructed using the lowest-cost, most tax efficient, well-constructed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have average annual fees of 0.2%. You might not think that's a big difference. But here's how it is. Take a $100,000 portfolio. Using the long-term average growth of stock and bond portfolio of 8% a year, compounding your gains over 20 years, and deducting the 3% in fees and taxes, you'd have $265,329. But if your fees and taxes were 0.2% instead of 3%, you would have $449,133.

That's over a 70% difference! All based upon a tiny difference in fees and taxes of 2.8%.

3. Invest like the world's smartest investors
Those who manage endowments or investments for wealthy families speak a completely different language than what most people hear on financial cable networks or from their brokers.

They invest with methods that were developed by Economics and Finance Nobel Laureates and some of the world's most prominent investors like David Swensen of Yale, John Bogle who founded Vanguard, Burton Malkiel of Princeton and Dr. William Sharpe of Stanford.

We help you stand on the shoulders of these giants. Using MarketRiders, you can build an ETF portfolio with the right asset allocation for your needs. And you can trust the allocations because we've built the intelligence of the smartest finance people in the world into our online technology.

Until now most people have not had access to these investment methods because the tools for structuring, managing and rebalancing an ETF portfolio have not been readily available or affordable. Additionally, Wall Street doesn't generally promote all ETF portfolios because they don't stand to make high fees.

4. Relax knowing that we're watching your back
Sophisticated investors don't "buy and hold." Rather they increase their returns by using a strategy that lets them really "buy low and sell high."

It's called rebalancing. Until we came along, rebalancing technology had only been available to sophisticated investors who could afford systems in the tens of thousands of dollars. MarketRiders makes rebalancing easy. Our algorithms scientifically monitor your portfolio 24x7 and generate specific rebalancing instructions sent via email several times yearly directing you on what to buy and sell to realign with your target percentages.

Extensive back testing of our portfolios shows that on average, our rebalancing algorithms can add between 1% - 2% returns per year.

Suddenly, your retirement moves outside the realm of worry and stress, and into the realm of confidence and peace. You can go about enjoying your life, knowing that we are rigorously monitoring your portfolio and will give you the guidance you need when you need it.

5. Receive unbiased advice - honest!
Always remember that most investment advice given is biased depending upon how an adviser is compensated. Traditional advisers are paid commissions or ongoing fees for moving their clients into "investment products." This creates a conflict between what is best for your retirement, and what is best for the adviser's vacation.

At MarketRiders, we offer a low-cost subscription service that is used by thousands. This allows us to give you the unbiased advice you need. Unlike brokers, advisers, insurance agents and mutual fund managers that get a yearly percent of your money, or a commission selling you a financial product, we are 100% on your side. We are not affiliated with anyone nor do we receive compensation for any of the ETFs we recommend or online brokers you employ.

Some investors are not ready to go-it-alone. For that reason, we offer the MarketRiders Coaching Service get you on the road to becoming a self-reliant investor for a flat fixed fee.
