What is the appeal of a MEPA Agreement?
An analysis of rolling ten-year performance, i.e., ten-year performance wherein the investment was initiated in any year over the last 100 years (and held for 10 years), shows us that an individuals investment doubled in value only 40% of the time. The culprit for the lackluster performance, as simple as this may sound, are the years in which the market failed to appreciate in value. These were the markets down years. Our review shows us that these years, which occur more frequently than one would suspect (once every three years or so), severely impact investors longer term asset performance. Elimination of the down years, thru the utilization of MEPAs, greatly enhances long term asset performance.
