Markets Go Up, We’re Geniuses! But as Markets Crash 30, 40, 50%, the “Genius” Disappears, Fortunes are Lost & Many Wonder Why…. Simply, – Very Few Know How To Apply the Major Advances of the Past Few Years for Measuring RISK Before Deploying Their Capital….

~ It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble... it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so ~

~ Quote from the Oscar-winning film “The Big Short“, a story of the 2007-08 financial bubble made worse by mass delusion

Complex formulas are applied by those at the very top of the elite investing world. If these same formulas are not applied by American retail investors to analyze how their current investments reacted during the last financial crisis thru today, then how can anyone understand the RISKS hidden in a given investment?

For Instance, As Markets Drop 30% to 50%… So Do Retail Portfolio Values… Yet The Fact Is, Many Financial Elites Who Knew to Apply These Complex RISK Measuring Formulas Still Profited In Down Markets… Does It Make Sense to Start Learning More About This?

Do You Remember How Much Your Portfolio Lost During the 2000-’02 and/or 2007-’09 Crises?

Don’t Remember? Maybe the S&P 500 charts below will help refresh your memory….

Notice, it took +/- 13-years for the S&P 500 to Return to & Sustain its March-2000 High….

And it took over 5 1/2-years for the S&P 500 to Return to & Sustain its October-2007 High….

S&P 500 Chart of the March-2000 Tech Peak vs the Oct-2002 Bottom; the Oct-2007 Realty Peak vs Feb-2009 Bottom; and, the March-2013 point where the S&P Returns to its Oct-2007 High.

Since early 2013, the Markets have grown to Historic Highs…. while simultaneously, US Debt levels passed $33-Trillion in September-2023!!

And now, high level CEO’s & Bankers are effectively warning, “The Everything Bubble will turn into the Everything Collapse” as Bonds, Stocks, and both Residential & Commercial Real Estate are Faltering….

Based on these historic levels, have you or your advisor(s) taken the time to more comprehensively Measure the actual RISK associated with your Portfolio’s ability to perform as it performed during the Markets’ climb to their current highs?

Have you or your advisor(s) tried to more accurately Measure Portfolio RISKS from $33-Trillion+ of US Debt, the current Interest Rates, Excessive Consumer & Business Debt & more? If not, could it be time to find an expert who can more fully Measure & Score these RISKS before another market crisis strikes?

Could a big part of the reason be that people in general & advisors in particular are not sufficiently skilled at properly Defining & Measuring RISK?

And yet, do you know there are experts skilled at Defining & Scoring RISK by utilizing advanced, comprehensive, rigorously applied complex mathematical formulas that more accurately identify hidden RISKS within Investments & Portfolios that can help mitigate potential losses during crisis times… while feasibly Generating Solid Yearly Returns?

So, how wise is it to continue Defining, Measuring & Scoring “RISK vs Reward” by applying similar “prevailing wisdoms” today that helped contribute to the 2000-’02 and/or ’07-’09 Losses?

With the disclosures being said, DJD Partners’ purpose is to provide educational information & insights to those who want to learn more about how select top-tier financial firms, that traditionally only serve the Financial Elite, develop customized designer structured financial products that have historically shown to be more RISK Adverse & Better Performing than most American Retail Investors and/or their Advisors currently believe is possible.

[Note: The financial elite are defined as those funds and/or people with at least $100-million Liquid Cash On Hand.]

To accomplish this purpose, DJD Partners is strategically aligned with an established non-Wall Street based boutique investment banking Firm [the Firm] whose work is equal to the most sophisticated of the sophisticated Wall Street based investment houses but with a very distinct differential ~

~ The Firm actually works FOR the Benefit of Retail Investors; whereas, time & again, so many top tier Wall Street houses arguably work AGAINST the Benefit of Retail Investors….

Founded in 2005, the Firm has continuously demonstrated the only place to objectively find good, solid investment performance is the arbitrage opportunities unique to private markets.

However, the industry challenge of realizing the performance levels the Firm has consistently achieved over the past 15-years is in the fact that most private market asset managers do not operate with the level of financial expertise and sophistication required to optimally and consistently take advantage of the arbitrage….

Due to this, the Firm offers its expertise in a manner that delivers true Risk-Adjusted Performance (including Illiquidity Premia) that can significantly exceed what is otherwise available thru the traditional public capital markets.

To demonstrate, the Firm’s designer structured products generated RISK Adjusted Performance Returns during the 2007 – 2009 crisis of:

+ 26.32% for 2007; + 32.07% for 2008; and, + 41.56% for 2009…. and has achieved 20% plus returns each calendar year since ’09.

[NOTE: With no guarantee of repeating these performances in any future time frame, the above cumulative, annually compounded results for an initial $10,000 returned +/-$13,616 by Year End 2009 [or a total of $23,616.]

While the S&P 500’s annually compounded, capitalized Returns during ’07, ’08 & ’09 = – 15.96%; and, the

FTSE NAREIT Real Estate Index’s annually compounded, capitalized Returns for ’07, ’08 & ’09 = – 34.36%

[NOTE: The Firm’s above stated results are before costs & fees. Additionally, the Firm mandates that all year end results be audited by an independent 3rd party auditing firm for accuracy & accountability.]
