In 2012, surging bond prices helped the Moderate to Conservative Flex portfolios outperform their benchmarks significantly in the 4th quarter and for the entire year.
The 10-, 5-, 3-, and 2-year performance has been benchmark-beating for ALL of the Flex portfolios.
Thank you for your business, time, and interest. Happy New Year!
