Most people still believe that the best way to manage their money is to either pick stocks themselves or pay for advice from investment advisers, brokers, or mutual fund managers so that they can "beat the market." But for years, sophisticated families and elite institutions have achieved superior returns with a very different method of investing that was developed by Economics and Finance Nobel Laureates. Their secret involves implementing a sophisticated asset allocation strategy with a globally diversified portfolio, keeping investment costs low and rebalancing their portfolios as markets ebb and flow. Because they don't pick stocks and they don't try to time the market, they have less stress than active traders. They are investing, not speculating.With MarketRiders, you too can implement these strategies. We help you stand on the shoulders of the giants like David Swensen of Yale, John Bogle who founded Vanguard, Burton Malkiel of Princeton and Dr. William Sharpe of Stanford. Using MarketRiders, you can build an ETF portfolio with the right asset allocation for your needs. And you can trust the allocation because we've built the intelligence of the smartest finance people in the world into our software.
