Market comment:

2017 started up as a different type of year. Not just in politics.

Despite the unprecedented political uncertainty, volatility in the SP500 dived this month causing our volatility harvesting strategy, Maximum Yield, to return more than 10% in just one month. Our Nasdaq 100 strategy returned 9.88%. 

All other strategies were positive for January but with smaller gains of 1-3%. The only negative strategy for the month was the Gold-USD strategy at -2.06%.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank two of our longer-term subscribers for their feedback, comments and support:
