INVESTMENTS
Preliminary performance summary as of February 28, 2019 presented by Brian Green
Market value/allocation of assets as of February 28, 2019 is $129,740,945
Current month – total portfolio outperformed the benchmark: 2.35% vs. 2.03% index.
Three-month performance – total portfolio underperformed the benchmark: 2.76% vs. 2.79% index.
YTD performance – total portfolio outperformed the benchmark: 8.20% vs. 7.98% index.
One-year performance – total portfolio underperformed the benchmark: 1.15% vs. 2.61% index.
Brian reported the economy is slowing, especially in Europe, but from a U.S. standpoint, does not
feel that U.S. recession is imminent. The Dow is down 120 points due to 2 nd Boeing plane crash.
Boeing represents 12% of the Dow, which is price-weighted, so we should pay more attention to
the S&P 500. There were no changes in the stock/bond portfolio, but 2 changes were made to the
equity portfolio. A memo is forthcoming to outline the two changes made on 3/1/19: Liquidation of
First Eagle Overseas Fund due to personnel change at Litman, and 1/3rd of Vanguard is now in a
conservative posture. Brian reported the year is off to a good start and does not recommend any
changes at this time.
The complete AndCo Investment Performance Review report is on file in finance office.
