Newsletter Strategy Performances for the month doesn’t match Strategy pages

[robininni]

I don’t know if this has occurred before or what I am missing if it is correct, but the reported April 2021 Strategy Performances given in the May 2021 Newsletter do not match the Strategy Performances given on the website on each particular Strategy’s page. For example:

Strategy____________Newsletter April Return___________Strategy Page April Return
EPP_________________4.1%______________________________3.8%
US Market 2x_______7.3%______________________________5.5%

These are pretty significant differences, which is true and why are they different?

Thanks,

Rob

Hello Rob,

thanks, you are obviously right, seems we had a problem in the monthly newsletter preparation. The 3.8% for the EPP and 5.5% for the US Market 2x from the strategy page are the right values.

Sorry for the bug, we’re going to update the batch job to avoid such issues in the future.

Hi Rob,

After taking a closer look it turns out that we calculate “1 month” returns using a 31 day period. In this case, since April is only 30 days, our returns included March 31 as well. So the data is accurate, but the “1 month” period was not aligned with the calendar month. We’ll see if we can change this for the next newsletter so returns reflect the most recent month. Sorry for the confusion.

Best,
Pat
