YTD Performance Comparison

In fact, when compared against 29 “best in breed” hedge funds, which typically charge 2% of investment capital and 20% of profits, Elliott Wave Technology’s Chart Cast Pilot ranks # 7 out of 30 of these best in breed funds with a year to date performance of 8.34%.

In sharp contrast to the customary 2% and 20% fees charged by hedge funds, the Chart Cast Pilot charges 0% on capital and 0% on profits, we simply charge a monthly subscription fee of $59, which translates to just over $700 per year.

That’s less than 1% annually on a portfolio size of 100K, which is an outstanding value considering that most best in breed hedge funds require at least 500K simply to open an account.
