| NOTE 2: "Flex", "Strategic", and "Index" models are crafted/run by Potomac Wealth Strategies. They show history of better returns, lower volatility, or both--or, with the Index models, closer tracking--vs benchmarks and competitors. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| NOTE 3: "XX Schwab index" and "XX Schwab ETF" models are relatively low-cost and tax-efficient portfolios. They are comprised mostly of index funds or exchange-trade funds available free of transaction charges to my clients at Schwab. This is what many might recommend due to low-costs and portfolio efficiency. |
