MONTHLY INVESTMENT MANAGER UPDATE - WATERSHED
Mr. Dale Connors, managing director of Watershed Investment Consultants, presented the preliminary Monthly Investment Analysis for the month ended December 31, 2015. The last quarter of the year took a toll on the returns for YTD December. Yields were slightly negative for the year, with a net of fees return of -1.28%, trailing the index of 1%.
