IFA 2013 Q1 MARKET SUMMARY



Mark Hebner, President of IFA, reviews the 2013 first quarter index returns of both stocks and bonds and presents a timeline of global events that occurred from Dec 31 - Mar 31, 2013. Because returns are tied to risk, higher risk indexes and index portfolios have yielded higher returns over time. Sticking to a plan and looking at long-term returns data renders a more comprehensive snapshot of the market versus looking at one quarter alone.
