Fidelity Select Funds Based Model Portfolios

We construct and professionally track two Fidelity Select funds based model portfolios in the AlphaProfit Sector Investors' Newsletter™ for subscribers to choose. The model portfolios seek to outperform the unmanaged Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 index over the long-term.

• AlphaProfit Core™ Portfolio: The Core Portfolio is a diversified portfolio constructed using Fidelity sector and market index funds suitable for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation in retirement as well as regular accounts.

• AlphaProfit Focus™ Portfolio: The Focus Portfolio is a concentrated portfolio suited for investors seeking aggressive growth through Fidelity sector funds in retirement as well as regular accounts.

Both model portfolios are usually fully invested in equity funds and do not market-time. The model portfolios seek to maximize capital appreciation; income is incidental. Tax efficiency is a factor considered in periodic repositioning of the model portfolios. Since portfolio turnover for the Core Portfolio is lower than that of the Focus Portfolio, the Core Portfolio is more tax efficient than the Focus Portfolio. The volatility of the Core Portfolio is lower than that of the Focus Portfolio.
