Announcing OmniFunds 2

It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the release of OmniFunds 2 - a new platform based on the original OmniFunds, but greatly enhanced based on what we have learned since OmniFunds 1 was released in 2017.

OmniFunds 2 is based on several new concepts:

Trading Multiple Portfolios.   The original site only allowed 2 portfolios, and allocation between them was fixed.  OmniFunds 2 spreads allocation across as many Portfolios as the OmniFund designer wants to include in the OmniFund

Avoiding Earnings Risk:   Every Portfolio can be set to have an Earnings Test, such that any symbol that is within X days of having an Earnings Report published will be avoided by OmniFunds.  Likewise, the software can wait for Y days after an Earnings Report to allow the stock to be traded.

Allocation Control:  OmniFunds 2 has a setting at the OmniFund Level that allows a maximum percentage per symbol to be specified.  This avoids cases where the user does not want to be allocated more than (say) 50% in any single position.  There is a counter argument that investing 100% in the best stock in the market is a viable approach, and evidence would suggest this is true.  But now, the OmniFunds Pro user can control this aspect of allocation to suite their requirements.

The Robo Report – Q1 2024

Condor Capital Wealth Management recently released their Robo Report for Q1 of 2024.  As with all other years we have investigated, the Robo Advisors continue to perform very poorly, compared to the overall stock market.  

In the middle of the Report is a table showing the main Robo Advisor performance for the past 5 years, 3 years, 1 year and Year to Date (Q1).  

Focusing on the SOLID GREEN line, we can see the average annual gain over the past 5 years was only about 6.5%.   

By contrast, the market was up an average of about 14% per year over the past 5 years, which is more than DOUBLE the Robo Returns. 

Here's an image of the Dow Jones Industrial ETF, DIA.

Year after year, the evidence continues to suggest you would be better off buying ANY market index ETF, such as SPY, QQQ, or DIA compared to investing in pretty much any Robo Advisor.  

Once again, we see that Robo Advisors consistently under-perform the major market indices.   As we say here at IFM,  "Returns Matter."  Because they do.
