Dear Investor,

September is the market's weakest month and has been since 1928, averaging −1.1%. This year it meets an uncertain Fed, high Treasury yields, and the 2026 midterms.*

When months like this hit, a portfolio riding a few big names can hand back a year of gains in weeks. The goal isn't to hide in cash; it's to keep growing, with less of the drop.

That's Quant Growth & Income (QG&I): up to 30 screened companies, steady dividends cushioning the swings, and a disciplined process that ignores the noise. Since June 3, it is up +8.89% against its benchmark VYM's −0.87%.**

The model runs whether you're in it or not. Every week you wait, it makes its moves without you.

You can't control the market this fall. You can choose to keep growing through it.
