Hermes Econometrics was founded in 1994 to provide risk-management investment advice for mutual fund and variable annuity investments. Our goal is to provide the best service and investment strategy we can. Investors cannot make investments and hope to succeed. Today's investor needs to consider both portfolio and market risk. Hermes Econometrics' models are designed to provide reduced market risk by investing in money markets during downtrends.

The Dow theory, developed in the 1930s, was one of the first economic models applied to technical investing that established and correlated a statistical relationship between the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation indices. The 1970's and 1980's served as a proving ground for the existence of a relationship between interest rates and the performance of the stock market. The 1990's changed investment returns and recovery expectations.
The 21st century has realigned expectations again, especially recovery periods.
Our investment decisions are based on econometric models, which are a reliable forecasting method. Econometric models are so reliable that the Federal Reserve Board uses them to anticipate economic data and set policies accordingly.
Most Fortune 500 companies also employ these forecasting systems for corporate planning..

Once an investor contracts with Hermes Econometrics, we make the determination and provide the service: we contact the fund, annuity company or brokerage firm (the custodian) and get your account invested as determined by our econometric model.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Your investment stays where it has been (i.e. the fund, or the annuity)
• Your Financial Professional continues to work with you as she/he always has.
• You continue to receive statements and confirmations just as you have in the past.
• Hermes simply moves your money back and forth between a money market fund (when our models are negative) and whatever
   your normal account allocation is (when our models are positive).
• The only thing that changes is that you now have an additional financial professional working on your team to help protect
  assets and increase the value of your investment.

Our models are mathematical and therefore objective. We are not making any subjective decisions about the market or being persuaded by any psychological or social events (such as an anthrax scare). To the extent equity and bond markets are concerned with these events, our models will take that into consideration. We don’t have meetings, where the most persuasive or loud or charming person’s viewpoint is considered. We simply follow the statistically proven and objective Econometric Model. We are computerized, and get your authority to go to your custodian directly and prior. This means that we can move thousands of accounts in one day, without having to locate you and have you or your financial professional re-consider the sensibility of our decision. Many of our exchanges are counter-intuitive. In other words: they don’t make sense. But objectively, it does. Which is why we bought into the market in October 2001, and made outstanding returns for our clients, and it made no sense. We bought our clients into equity markets on December 31, 2002. Make sense? No, but the Dow Jones proceeded to go up over 6% the first week of 2003.
