Comparison to Target Date Funds
June 2020 Newsletter
Equity indices continued their torrid recovery from the pandemic related panic that struck in March. Since
the March 23 low, the S&P is up 36%. Looking back, the decision to stay the course and not make any
radical changes in our model portfolios has proven to be the best course of action. That was a difficult
decision on our part - everything taken into account - but we chose to take the long-term view and in this
case, we believed that the pandemic was an extraordinary event, not a crisis created by any fundamental
weakness or fragility. As always, EZTracker model portfolios follow a long-term investment horizon, and our
goal is to deliver superior results over time, not just measured by one week, one month or one year.
Two months ago, around the time that markets were at the local bottom, our portfolio changes included
reducing international and overweighing domestic growth sectors, which moves have proven to be positive.
EZTracker model portfolios continue to be well balanced for a continued recovery so there are no changes
for this month. There are changes, however, in brokerage portfolios. Please see page 5 for more details.

Overall Market and Model Portfolio Performance
YEAR TO DATE CHART
The chart below shows the YTD performance of the S&P 500. It is evident that the rebound since the low on
March 23 has almost brought the equity markets back to the same level as January 1. We at EZTracker take
the long view, knowing it is impossible to perfectly hit the peaks and the valleys, and feel comfortable that
staying the course and not panic selling has been the right decision.
Periodically, we compare the performance of EZTracker model portfolios to the alternatives such as target
date retirement funds, Morningstar risk benchmarks, S&P and the DJII. The chart below shows how the
EZTracker model portfolios have performed in comparison for YTD 2020.

Your individual percentages may vary somewhat from those indicated above due to rounding, timing of purchases, and performance every month
(In many cases even though there may be no changes for a particular month you may notice a small change, due to performance/rounding).
The EZTracker Brokerage Portfolio is a very aggressive approach for investors who want to invest in a wider
range of market sectors and choices. Managing this portfolio will require more time and greater comfort with
risk than the other EZTracker portfolios. We suggest this portfolio for more experienced, knowledgeable
investors. See the Brokerage Portfolio ETF Data in the appendix section for a list of ETFs in this portfolio.
Moderate Portfolio:
70% invested in equities and 30% invested in bonds or the money market fund.
Conservative Portfolio:
40% invested in equities and 60% invested in bonds or the money market fund.
Brokerage Portfolio:
Aggressive: 95-100% invested in equities through the Brokerage Link and an
expanded list of Schwab ETF’s. This is a high risk/high reward portfolio.
