| The model portfolios
listed below illustrate the advantages that Alpha Advisor Service,
LLC can provide subscribers. These portfolios, constructed with
both ease of operation and performance in mind, utilize the
exact same analysis that is provided with an AAS subscription.
Each fund portfolio selects up to four approximately equally
weighted positions of the highest AAS Rated
securities from each of the respective fund families. The
securities must also be AAS Recommended
Buys in order to be selected for portfolio allocation.
Annual rebalancing of the positions is recommended.
The four model fund portfolios are reviewed daily
after the close of trading. Any holding which has triggered
a specific sell rule is then sold on the following day.
Replacing the sold fund is the security with both the highest
AAS Rating Score and an AAS Buy Recommendation from
the appropriate group.
The AAS Model Stock Portfolio is
reviewed daily at the close of trading
EST and any transaction which is recommended for either purchase
or sale would then be completed on the next trading day with
all trades priced at the average of the High and Low of the
security on the day of the trade.
The AAS Stock portfolio consists
of up to thirty (30) equally weighted positions; each security
is selected from a master list of up to 1500 stocks utilizing
both the AAS Rating Score and the AAS Buy Recommendation.
This portfolio is best categorized as All-Cap and All-Style
since the selections are not limited by either market capitalization
or investment style. This is a long only portfolio. Assets
are moved to cash or money market funds when acceptable investment
options are not identified by the portfolio analytic. The
AAS Stock portfolio is designed to be used either in conjunction
with other AAS fund portfolios or to be used as the tactical
portion of an overall asset allocation portfolio. This portfolio
aims to out-perform the benchmark in positively trending
markets.
Since the holdings in this portfolio are not limited by
market cap or investment style, and are selected using the
AAS Rating Score coupled with further technical analysis,
subscribers utilizing the AAS Stock Portfolio can be exposed
to a variety of sectors and segments at any given time. When
a market segment turns negative, the AAS Stock portfolio
has the ability of reducing exposure in that segment by moving
the assets either into another sector, or into cash. The
result is an agile portfolio that is quick to find winners,
and even quicker to remove losers. Vito J. Racanelli’s
article, Picking the Top Stockpickers,
explains how the large Wall Street management firms use the
same approach as AAS in the February 13, 2006 issue of Barron’s
Online.
Please remember that past performance
does not guarantee future results. For further information

these portfolios, please view the AAS model portfolio performance
