This week our portfolio produced a decent return of 2.73%. Although 97 basis points (bps)
weaker than the broader S&P 500 Financials Sector and 37 bps weaker than S&P 500 Index, the
one-week return is still satisfying given the level of risk we have thus far assumed by holding the financial services companies with the largest market capitalizations, and it is 40 bps higher than
the DJIA, which is also in line with riskiness of our portfolio compared to the Dow.
