    Northstar Investment Advisors' Indexes Yield Double Digit Returns in 2011

    PRWeb – Wed, Feb 1, 2012

    Indexes focused on building income beat S&P 500

    Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

    A focus on building income rather than beating the market yielded strong results for Northstar Investment Advisors LLC, which saw its two retirement indexes post returns of more than 10 percent in 2011. The Farrell-Northstar Retirement Income Index, which includes a mix of fixed-income securities and dividend-paying stocks, produced a one-year total return of 10.82 percent. The Farrell-Northstar Retirement Stock Income Index, consisting of 48 equally-weighted stocks, posted a total return of 11.08 percent in 2011. In comparison, the S&P 500 yielded a total return of 2.12 percent last year.

    “I think the performance of our indexes demonstrate the value of an approach designed to build cash flow. The indexes also help investors understand how to create significant wealth protection and potential for growth even during times of volatility,” said Northstar Investment Advisors CEO Charles Farrell.

    Introduced in June 2008, right before the financial crisis slammed the stock market, the FNRI Index and the Stock Income Index have produced total annualized returns of 8.10 percent and 8.25 percent respectively since inception. The S&P 500 posted a total annualized return of 1.75 percent over the same time period.

    “Most indexes are constructed to focus on price changes, whereas our indexes are constructed to focus on the production of income and a growing income stream,” said Fred Taylor, president of Northstar Investment Advisors.

    The FNRI Index is comprised of approximately 50 percent equities and 50 percent fixed income and is designed to reflect the unique goals of investors who must live off their returns. The Securities included in the Index are selected to help investors meet the following investment objectives:


    •     Current and Stable Income

    •     Growing Income

    •     Principal Protection

    •     Capital Gains

    The Stock Income Index was created to highlight the returns and performance of only the stock holdings contained in the FNRI Index. The Index is well diversified and holds stocks from all 10 of the major stock market sectors: Consumer Staples, Industrials, Health Care, Technology, Energy, Consumer Discretionary, Materials, Utilities, Telecommunications and Financials.
