Understanding the Saltydog System

The Slow Ahead Group was the only

one to make progress last week when

the FTSE100 tracker lost 1.3%.

Slow Ahead

We aim to provide you with up-to-date information about readily available investment funds, so that you can see which are

currently performing well. In other words, to provide you with the data that will make DIY Investing a worthwhile hobby.

The Data

Our Objective

We cover Unit Trusts, OEICs, Investment Trusts, and ETFs.

At the beginning of each week we download the latest data, and select the funds that are easy to access in the UK. We then sort

the data and highlight the best performing funds.

This sorted data is available to our subscribers on our website (saltydoginvestor.com) each week, and a summary of the data is

included in our Newsletter, which is published monthly and posted to subscribers.

To give an example on how our information can be used, we run our own real money portfolio based on the data, and publish

details of what we buy and sell, and the overall performance.

We are very ready to help with any queries, but have to emphasise that we are not able to offer any financial advice.

SectorsAll funds are allocated a Sector by the relevant Financial 'body' such as the IMA - the Investment Management Association. That

means that all funds within a Sector will be investing within the constraints of that Sector, and so worthwhile comparisons of

performance can be made.

Slow Ahead Group - 4 Week Data

£ High Yield4 Week 12 Week 26 Week Recent Weekly Deciles

This page shows the leading 3 sectors of the Slow Ahead Group as listed on page 8, and the funds that have performed best in those Sectors

over the last 4 weeks. The data for the other 4 sectors in this Group is shown on our website as Page 10A.

We measure fund performance by their Decile Ranking in a Group. For each time period (1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, or 26 weeks), we rank all

the funds in the Group by their % return, and then the top 10% of that ranking go into Decile 1, the next 10% go into Decile 2, and so on until the

bottom 10% go into Decile 10. We are on the lookout for funds that are often in Deciles 1 or 2 over the various time periods. The use of Deciles

gives a much more accurate performance measure than the 'quartile' system commonly used.

To select the leading funds in each Sector for the last 4 weeks, we first of all use the Decile Ranking for that period, and then use the Decile

Rankings for the most recent individual weeks. In that way we identify funds that have done best in their Sector over the last 4 week period, and

those performing best in the last few weeks go to the top of the list.

On this page we give data on the leading 6 funds in each Sector, showing their relative performance for the last 8 weeks on a chart, and providing

Decile Ranking and Percentage Return data in a table. The Decile History Report on our website gives details of more funds in these Sectors.

Always check for initial charges before investing. Funds in italics often have a Bid/Offer Spread.

Remember that past performance is no indication of future performance.

Steady as She Goes Group - 4 Week Data

This page gives details about the top 3 sectors of the Steady as She Goes Group, as listed on page 8. The data for the other 4 sectors in this

Group is shown on our website as Page 12A. The data is presented in the same way as the Slow Ahead Group.

The Steady as She Goes Group is often more volatile than the Slow Ahead Group, but the returns can sometimes be greater.

Note that the vertical scale on the charts may differ page to page, so it is important to check the maximum and minimum limit of the chart so you

can make accurate comparisons.

Data on the Full Steam Ahead Developed and Full Steam Ahead Emerging Groups are provided on pages 14 to 17, and again the data is

presented in the same way.

The Developed & Emerging Groups are often more volatile than the Steady as She Goes Group, but the returns can sometimes be greater.

The Developed Group covers Sectors specialising in the so-called 'Developed Countries' - Europe, UK, America, Japan etc.

The Emerging Group covers Sectors specialising in the Emerging Countries - Russia, China, Brazil, Latin America etc.

The Specialist Sector is not a natural fit into any of our Groups, so that is covered in a slightly different format on page 18, but with our usual 4

week data. Within the Specialist Sector there are funds that invest in similar areas e.g. Agriculture, Gold, India etc. We call these similar areas

'Sub-Zones', and highlight them in the data and provide a chart that shows how the Sub-Zones are performing.

Always check for initial charges before investing. Funds in italics often have a Bid/Offer Spread.

Remember that past performance is no indication of future performance.

The chart below left shows how the SubZones have performed, based on their 8 week trend, based on average % return.

The chart below right shows the 8 week performance of the top 8 funds in the Specialist sector table above.

Specialist Sector - 4 Week Data

The Specialist Sector contains funds that do not fit into the contraints of the mainstream sectors, so they are something of a mixed bag.

We have created our own SubZones for the funds that have a broadly similar focus - Agriculture, Financial, Gold, India, Latin America, Natural Resources, Russia

& Eastern Europe. All the funds are measured by their 4 Week Decile Ranking and then their Recent Weekly Deciles.
