Pinnacle’s Blue Chip Portfolio seeks to provide performance similar to the Dow Jones Industrials. The Dow has consistently produced the best returns among major market indices. This strategy has very low turnover and low transaction costs.

The Blue Chip Portfolio is for the investor that is seeking returns consistent with the long-term historical average of large capitalization stocks. This passively managed strategy should provide higher after tax returns than an actively managed growth and income fund due to low turnover and low transaction costs.

* Returns for periods shorter than one year are not annualized, all other values shown are annualized
** Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see our performance disclosure statement for more information.
*** For comparison purposes, the composite is measured against the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designated to measure the performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.
