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
Corporate earnings outpacing price growth has helped the trailing P/E ratio fall from 29x to 26x in Q2. While still expensive relative to history, we are encouraged by the continued momentum in earnings growth.
The market continues to climb a wall of worry as the percent of AAII bears has been above its long-term average since February. The absence of euphoria among investors is promising for equity markets.
With the S&P 500 sitting just below its all-time highs, equity market momentum remains intact —all of our trend and momentum signals are currently positive.
The VIX and MOVE index remain well below average, reflecting lower perceived market risk. Historically, low market risk is correlated with a lower risk of significant market drawdowns.
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.
Investors are advised to consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Meeder Funds before investing. The Meeder Funds prospectus contains this and other information about the funds.
