Holding steady with current All-Cap Value model lineup

Author: Patrick Larkin

Covestor model: All Cap Value

I made no changes to my All-Cap Value portfolio in September. While the portfolio has benefited from the general market trend up that has prevailed since its inception in August of 2011, its returns continue to trail the S&P 500.

The portfolio is built for the long run, and I remain confident that it will outperform over time. However, I will continue to manage the portfolio carefully and will not take reckless risks to try to close the gap with the indices too quickly.
