Model Portfolios

Can we invest based on the gurus' latest stock picks and holdings? What kind of returns can we expect if we invest based on the consensus picks of gurus or the bargain candidates and the stocks many of them hold? What kind of returns can we expect if we buy the top-ranked stocks?

In order to find out the answers to these questions, we have constructed a few model portfolios based on different criteria. Click on the charts to find out the details and holdings for each of them.

Please understand that these performances are hypothetical and not in any way are guarenteed or certain. Investing is subject to risk and past performance is no guarentee of future results.
