Growth of a Dollar 1
This chart demonstrates the cumulative effect of a continuous investment, adding monthly returns to an initial equity value of $1.00 USD to demonstrate performance over time. Grey columns display the monthly returns of the core portfolio.

Portfolio Equity Curves 1
This chart demonstrates the ability of an investment to set new equity highs versus its ability to preserve wealth by continuously displaying the percentage return of consecutive new equity highs (atmospheric equity) versus drawdown experienced since making a preceding high (underwater equity).

Risk vs Reward 1
This chart shows the average of rolling 1 year returns (center value), plus or minus one deviation (1 above, 1 below), and the best and worst 1 year performance (2 above, 2 below) of a continuous investment. Rolling period analysis is a more robust assessment of return, resulting in many more observations than traditional combined annual growth rates. The greater the return, the more scruity an investor should place on its risk, defined here by its standard deviation. Absolute return strategies respect risk, controlling downside while positioning the portfolio to capture major advances over time.
