Third Day Advisors
Aggressive Strategy
Ultra Aggressive Strategy
S&P Plan


The Third Day Aggressive, Ultra Aggressive, and S&P Plan Strategies are tailored for aggressive investors who want to diversify their portfolios by adding a leveraged investment with both a long and short market exposure.  The Third Day trading model is a proprietary blend of trend-following, momentum and overbought/oversold indicators developed by Third Day’s founder, Ken Whitley.  The model is 100% mechanical, though Ken does reserve the right to override any signal in case of a special circumstance such as a national emergency.

Third Day uses the Rydex OTC 2x Strategy and Inverse OTC 2x Strategy Funds exclusively in the Strategies. These funds seek returns approximating 200% of the daily performance of the NASDAQ 100 Index, with the OTC 2x Strategy Fund providing the positive (long) correlation and the Inverse OTC 2x Strategy Fund providing the negative (short) correlation. In the S&P Plan, Third Day uses the S&P 500 2x Strategy and Inverse S&P 500 2x Strategy Funds that seek a similar exposure to the S&P 500 Index.

All of the Third Day Strategies use the same trading model, and differ only to the extent to which they are invested.  The Aggressive Strategy will invest only up to 75% of the account, providing a 150% market exposure, while the Ultra Aggressive and S&P Plan Strategies will invest up to 100% of an account, providing a 200% exposure.  Maximum allocations are rare, and each program is expected to be 100% in cash (money market fund) approximately 30% to 40% of the time, based on historical performance.

Third Day Strategies’ historical returns show little correlation to the major stock market indexes or other Advisors recommended in the AdvisorLink® Program.  Thus, the Aggressive, Ultra Aggressive, and S&P Plan Strategies may be used very effectively in combination with the other actively managed investments offered by Halbert Wealth Management.

Any opinions stated are intended as general observations, not specific or personal investment advice.  Please consult a competent professional and the appropriate disclosure documents before making any investment decisions. There is no foolproof way of selecting an Investment Advisor. Investments mentioned involve risk, and not all investments mentioned herein are appropriate for all investors.  HWM receives compensation from PAS in exchange for introducing client accounts to the Advisors.  For more information on HWM or PAS, please consult Form ADV Part II, available at no charge upon request.

As benchmarks for comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (which includes dividends) and the NASDAQ 100 Index represent an unmanaged, passive buy-and-hold approach.  The volatility and investment characteristics of these benchmarks cited may differ materially (more or less) from that of the Advisor.  The performance of the S & P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ 100 is not meant to imply that investors should consider an investment in the Third Day Aggressive Strategy trading program as comparable to an investment in the “blue chip” stocks that comprise the S & P 500 Stock Index or the stocks that comprise the NASDAQ 100.  Historical performance data represents actual accounts in a program named Third Day Aggressive Plan, custodied at Rydex Series Trust, and verified by Theta Investment Research, LLC.   Since all accounts in the program are managed similarly, the results shown are representative of the majority of participants in the Third Day Aggressive Program.  Purcell Advisory Services utilizes research signals purchased from Third Day Advisors, an unaffiliated investment advisor.  The signals are generated by the use of a proprietary model developed by Third Day Advisors.  Statistics for “Worst Drawdown” are calculated as of month-end.  Drawdowns within a month may have been greater. PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.  Mutual funds carry their own expenses which are outlined in the fund’s prospectus.  An account with any Advisor is not a bank account and is not guaranteed by FDIC or any other governmental agency.

When reviewing past performance records, it is important to note that different accounts, even though they are traded pursuant to the same strategy, can have varying results.  The reasons for this include: i) the period of time in which the accounts are active; ii) the timing of contributions and withdrawals; iii) the account size; iv) the minimum investment requirements and/or withdrawal restrictions; and v) the rate of brokerage commissions and transaction fees charged to an account. There can be no assurance that an account opened by any person will achieve performance returns similar to those provided herein for accounts traded pursuant to the Third Day Aggressive Strategy trading program.

In addition, you should be aware that (i) the Third Day Aggressive Strategy trading program is speculative and involves a high degree of risk; (ii) the Third Day Aggressive trading program’s performance may be volatile; (iii) an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment in the program; (iv) Purcell Advisory Services will have trading authority over an investor’s account and the use of a single advisor could mean lack of diversification and consequently higher risk; and (v) the Third Day Aggressive Strategy trading  program’s fees and expenses (if any) will reduce an investor’s trading profits, or increase any trading losses.

Returns illustrated are net of the maximum management fees, custodial fees, underlying mutual fund management fees, and other fund expenses such as 12b-1 fees.  They do not include the effect of annual IRA fees or mutual fund sales charges, if applicable. No adjustment has been made for income tax liability.  Money market funds are not bank accounts, do not carry deposit insurance, and do involve risk of loss.  The results shown are for a limited time period and may not be representative of the results that would be achieved over a full market cycle or in different economic and market environments.
