| Objective | This portfolio takes adapts to the current market environment to be defensive while attempting to maximize returns. It's a safe haven compared to more aggressive portfolios and can be mixed in with Actively Managed within or between your brokerage(s). | This is an actively managed, all-bearish portfolio that will make returns as the markets drop. It should not be held as a solitary investment without taking on a large amount of risk. I will actively increase or decrease leverage to the downside as I see fit to maximize returns. |

If fewer than 10 clients are invested in the portfolio, the data represents the aggregate performance of all clients following this strategy. Actual investor outcomes can vary due to factors like brokerage support for fractional shares, account size, trade timing, fees, and taxes, and past performance should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future results or typical of all portfolios. Performance figures are shown before Pilot subscription amounts. Autopilot does not charge an advisory fee.

Notes
This is a side-by-side table of the same fields for each Portfolio. It is not a ranking, a score, or a recommendation.
Autopilot does not charge an advisory fee and does not charge an AUM fee. The price to follow a Pilot is that Pilot's subscription. If you subscribe to more than one Pilot, those subscription amounts add. Pilot subscriptions are not deducted from the published return figures.
While individual Portfolios may each be suitable for your risk profile, combining multiple Portfolios may create concentration risks or unsuitable aggregate exposure. Autopilot does not assess aggregate suitability across multiple Portfolios.
