A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR TACTICAL POSITIONING TARGETS
Each day, Meeder analyzes and ranks over 70 different factors from our short, intermediate, and long-term models. The dynamic statistical model incorporates factors covering macroeconomic, fundamental, trends and technical analysis to estimate the potential reward and marketplace risk of the equity markets. The Meeder Spectrum, Muirfield, Balanced, Moderate Allocation, and Conservative Allocation funds utilize this strategy for the Defensive Equity portion of their portfolios. The Defensive Equity Strategy guides the allocation of each fund’s equity sleeve and the actual proportion of equity investments in any fund will vary depending on the investment objectives of the fund.

QUICK TAKE
Several U.S. equity indexes continue to push to new all-time highs as the S&P 500 total return index is now up 24.92% year-to-date. This longer-term positive momentum in combination with improvements in market breadth have helped to improve the long-term model.The intermediate-term model has also improved as the ratio of put options to call options traded has increased as of late indicating some investor bearishness. This has historically been a positive sign for the equity markets from a contrarian perspective.
Market RISK is in balance right now as expected equity market volatility, as measured by the VIX, is below average. However, expected bond market volatility, as measured by the MOVE index, is above average.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Funds cannot guarantee that they will achieve their investment objectives. Loss of money is a risk of investing in a mutual fund. The Funds are subject to stock market and liquidity risk. The Funds are also subject to foreign investment risk. These risks, as well as others, may occur during the time you hold shares of the funds.
