That compares to the S&P 500 with dividends reinvested at 11.3% and the average financial advisor probably a lot less. The AFC composite has trailed the S&P 500 for the past several years but that seems to have turned and our clients are again doing better than the S&P. Fewer than 3% of professional money managers can make that claim and no financial advisor that we know can make that claim. Why is it important? Over the past 25 years the economy has experienced Black Swans like the dot-com bust, the Great Recession and the pandemic. We are in the midst of that Black Elephant inflation.

In our opinion things that have never happened before happening all the time and those Black Swans and Black Elephant illustrate the damage that can be done. Those events are the past. We expect to see more in the future. Don’t you feel having more money is a better situation than facing the risk of running out of money?
