Notes: Favored Buy ratings are published in the Subscriber Login Section by 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the first trading day of the month. We use month-end closing
prices of the Favored Buy rated mutual fund or ETF to calculate pre-tax returns. All distributions are assumed to be reinvested in the mutual fund or ETF they are received from.
The composition of the AlphaProfit model portfolios does not change in response to the assignment or removal of Favored Buy ratings to individual mutual funds or ETFs.
It should not be assumed that results from future Favored Buy ratings will be profitable or will equal the performance of past Favored Buy ratings.
