ABOUT NBT EQUITY GROUP: Emerging Growth Companies, Stocks and ETF Funds
NBT stands for “Next Big Things”—researching and bringing the next big thing sectors and their leadership companies and related ETFs to the emerging growth investor marketplace is what we do. We are metabolically pre-disposed growth investors. There is not a value stock bone in our collective bodies.
Next Big Thing is also an investment philosophy. We believe with 10%-20% of an equity portfolio directly invested in 8-10 leaders/ETFs of the “secular super sectors” of the world’s economy—secular 3-5 year 20%+ cumulative annual growth rate vertical markets—a portfolio can greatly outperform the overall indexes.
The math is simple: with just ONE 10-20X winner and a handful of late-stage emerging growth disappointments your ENTIRE portfolio gets a 5-10% ANNUAL BOOST. With average retirement savings per 50+ household at less than $75,000 (2010 study Cerruli Associates) EVERY portfolio needs that kind of boost.
We have proven this concept and philosophy for hundreds of thousands of investors since 1995 (when our founder Tobin Smith started his initial emerging growth research outfit ChangeWave Research LLC). “Next Big Thing Investing 2012-2015” will be published end of 2011 to expand and expound on his proven strategy.
Our Next Big Things investment strategy has helped both retail and professional investors own at least ONE 10-20X winning company that accelerates their ENTIRE portfolio to major index outperformance/Alpha.
In NBT land, in order to get this market out-performance/Alpha, you have to be in the emerging growth and markets game. Period.
Ditto for ETF investors: one of two significant winning niche ETFs turns average ETF portfolios into 20-40% outperformers vs. owning just the major indexes.
NBT was started by respected emerging growth investor and financial media personality, Tobin Smith (Fox News/Fox Business Network Anchor and Contributor since 2000, NY Times bestselling author, and Founder of ChangeWave Research and ChangeWave investing newsletters).
