For the disciplined and long-term investor we offer four exceptionally-diversified, non-speculative portfolios with advisor fees of .625% annually (among the lowest in the industry). Each custom-indexed Holland portfolio is designed to achieve sustained superior performance with reduced investment risk.

Results shown are based on index simulations of Holland allocations for periods indicated. While they are representative of the Advisor's personal investment performance over these periods, they do not represent returns for The Holland Portfolios per se, as the Portfolios were not available in their current form over these periods.

Results are from financial data believed to be reliable, not guaranteed. All returns are shown net of the .625% annual management fee payable to Holland. The returns do not include any rebalance fees (from Fidelity), which would reduce the performance by approximately $350 per year. Returns assume all distributions are reinvested.

The models shown comprise the following:

Aggressive is 92.5% US/Global diversified equities with a cash/money market balance of 7.5%. Aggressive is recommended for people with a time frame of 10+ years.

Neutral is 85% US/Global diversified equities with 7.5% in cash/money market and 7.5% in US long bonds. Neutral is recommended for individuals with a time frame of 8+ years.

Conservative is 70% US/Global diversified equities with 15% in cash/money market and 15% in US long bonds. Conservative is recommended for people with a time frame of 6+ years.

Balanced is 50% US/Global equities with 25% in cash/money market and 25% in US long bonds. Balanced is recommended for people with a time frame of 4+ years.

The returns shown are not predictive of actual results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher. Portfolio prices can fluctuate materially. Investors may lose money; investing for short periods increases risk.

Portfolios are not FDIC insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

Portions of these portfolios are invested in funds that trade international equities, International investments are subject to additional risks such as currency fluctuation, political instability, lack of market regulation and potential for illiquid markets.

Mid cap/Small cap investments are subject to greater volatility than those in other categories.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses of each portfolio before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future investment results.

The S & P 500 is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks listed on the New York Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and over the counter market.

A parable for today's investor:
Diversify and hold steady against doom-saying

Do you remember a time when these were typical financial headlines? "Strongest One-Month Total Return for S & P 500 in Five Years." "Dow Transportation Average Jumps 29%." "Real Estate Securities Outperforming all Other DFA Equity Strategies." Well, there's no need to feel nostalgic.

In praise of the (above) average investor

Open the financial section of any newspaper or magazine and you'll see frequent (and frequently condescending) references to a mysterious individual known as the "average investor." Who is this person? Is he related to you?

Passive vs. Active Management:
How to avoid the mood-swings of "Mr. Market"

Analysts often use colorful images to explain how the markets work … or why a particular index or asset class is "behaving" in a certain way.

Passive vs. Active Management:
How investing is – and isn't – like a game of Texas Hold 'Em

The strategic and tactical similarities between investing and poker have long been a source of fascination and study on Wall Street. A disproportionate percentage of brokers are avid amateur poker players – some have turned pro.
