Great performance in one year could be an accident. Performance repeated over seventeen years is a track record. The Mastermind Group was created in 2009 to help clients avoid corrections like 2008.

The secret is to make at least 80% of the market return in good years and avoid 80% of the losses in the bad years. This is only possible by managing your portfolio like a professional. We are most concerned with avoiding the losses, volatility, and drawdowns of the bad years. Because “losses have a greater negative impact, than profits have a positive benefit.” For this reason it is more important to avoid the bad years than to outperform in the good. The Mastermind Group has been able to do both.

  • S&P Return: 16.40%

  • MMGroup Average Return: 22.58%

  • MMGroup Performance vs S&P:  137.7%  (MMGroup averaged a 37% better return)

  • 35.7% of members outperformed the market

  • 85.7% of members had double digit returns

  • Top four members averaged 32%.

  • Our primary goal in an up year is to capture 80% or better of the S&P return. In 2025 80% of the members captured 80% or better of the S&P return.

  • The group has captured 80% or more in every years since 2009, except 2023 when we captured 73%.

  • We have also avoided every correction since 2009 by 80% or more. Except 2015 at 48% and 2022 at 73% avoidance.

  • If you capture 80% of the market in the good years and avoid 80% of the losses in the bad years, you out perform everybody, with less risk, volatility, and drawdown. You will also have a greater total return and increase in buying power.
