Model Portfolios

AAII Model Portfolios Update: Data as of 4/30/2013
Overall, the market continued to perform well through April. It has been well-documented that high-yielding stocks have performed well during the recent market rally. In addition, smaller-cap stocks have also performed well during this time. During April, however, larger market-capitalization stocks outperformed their smaller-cap counterparts; the S&P SmallCap 600 index was actually down for the month, the first time the index has retreated since last October. It could be just that smaller-cap stocks are seeing some profit-taking, or it may be the beginning of a pullback as small-cap stocks have gotten a little rich. At the end of April, the S&P SmallCap 600 had a price-earnings ratio of 20.4.
