    Getting in the Game

      The Early Bird Portfolio was originally designed to be a group of funds that would allow you to play aggressive in the world of investing. We have since modified that position. In October of 2001, we began this portfolio with some solid funds whose riskiness promised greatness when the markets decided that the bottom had been hit. For quite a while, that bottom was the very month we began the portfolios.

      We have honed the portfolio down to a weighted group of four core funds that you could afford to invest in with a good amount of exposure to the aggressiveness that an early in life investor should have. This is the first time our portfolios feature bond funds.
