An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The IOP data for the graphs is from Desert Rose Capital Management’s proprietary rules based models. They reflect actual historical option prices and historical prices of bond funds that we use frequently, bought and sold according to our models. Historical data was gathered from Yahoo!, iShares and SPDRS websites for the graphs. There are no guarantees by those companies to the accuracy of their data. Some options data was conservatively extrapolated based on Desert Rose’s experience in option pricing and the actual index price for a few years when options were not available on the underlying fund. There were three years when the EEM and TLT funds did not exist yet where data was conservatively extrapolated from the index that the fund tracks. The effect of a 1.25% yearly advisory fee is reflected, but taxes were not reflected in these graphs. The effect of taxes may improve the results of the IOP even further or detract, depending on an individual’s tax situation. Your results may vary. Investors may want to seek tax and legal advice when incorporating an IOP into a financial plan. These graphs are for illustration purposes and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
