ETF Stock Trading Signals (GBP)
Invest in the stock market by placing a trade just once per month using The Money Pouch's ETF stock trading signals.
Target Returns
The USD ETF strategy will usually only invest in 3 or 4 ETFs each month from a basket of ETFs. Then each month, the mix of ETFs will change. You can place a trade based on the ETF stock trading signals provided in the premium membership.
Returns in real live trading will likely be much less than in the simulated backtested returns as they are based on historical data.
| Strategy | Target Returns | Backtested Returns* |
| Conservative | 12.0% p.a. | 8.21% p.a. |
| Balanced | 14.0% p.a. | 8.28% p.a. |
| Adventurous | 18.0% p.a. | 8.27% p.a. |

*The backtested returns above are based on a simulation ran on 22nd June, 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The performance data shown represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results and do not include transaction fees.
Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited.
Conservative ETF Strategy (GBP)

Balanced ETF Strategy (GBP)
The balanced strategy would have turned £10,000 into approx. £14,000 over 4 years.
Adventurous ETF Strategy (GBP)
The adventurous strategy would have turned £10,000 into approx. £14,000 over 4 years. Please note the larger drawdowns that occur if you invest in the adventurous strategy.
The charts above show backtested returns of the ETF strategies in GBP. The blue bars show the slow increase in equity (the current value of all shares held) over time.
The red line shows the periods of Drawdown (DD).
Please note that there can be long periods of time where the strategies do not make money or even fall in value. This may last months or even over a calendar year. Patience is key. If the value of your equity has fallen over a sustained period, you might consider topping up your investment.
The strategies are designed to reduce most of the rollercoaster price action that would occur if you simply held 100% of your investments in shares of the FTSE100, for example.
EU & UK Investment Rules
Due to new EU rules concerning PRIIPS (Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products), residents in the EU & UK can no longer invest in most US-denominated Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). This is because it would cost millions of dollars for a US-based institution to adhere to the new European rules.
Instead, for clients resident in the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA), we recommend the GBP ETF strategy or the EUR ETF strategy.
Clients in Asia, Latin America, Africa & the rest of the world can continue to invest in USD ETFs.
- All investment portfolios are rebalanced frequently in USD
- All investment portfolios are optimised to reduce risk.
- All dividends can be reinvested
- We have three different types of strategies based on a client's risk profile: conservative, balanced and adventurous.
- The Money Pouch sends automated stock trading signals using USD ETFs which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
The investment strategy will change from month to month and will hold varying percentages of the equities and bonds shown below.
IMPORTANT: Please note that these are simulated results through vigorous backtesting. Also, that it is normal to have losing months and losing years. You cannot expect investments to increase in a straight line. But, over time, if you invest for long periods of time of 5 years or more, your investments should increase in value as the world population and worldwide credit increases, however 100% of capital is always at risk. Always retain an emergency cash fund in your bank separate from your investments to cover at least one year's worth of spending.
