The below four portfolios are included with every level of Value Line professional equity service.

VALUE LINE MODEL PORTFOLIO I

Portfolio lstocks with Above-Average Year-Ahead Price Potential, is built on Value Line’s renowned Timeliness Ranking System. It is primarily suitable for investors who wish to take more risk in hopes of greater returns over the short to medium term than might be afforded in Portfolios II or III. To qualify for purchase in this portfolio, a stock must have a Timeliness Rank of 1 or 2 and a Financial Strength Rating of at least B+. The stock also has to offer above-median 18-month appreciation potential. If a stock’s Timeliness Rank falls below 3 or its 18-month appreciation potential drops to zero or becomes negative, it will be automatically removed. Stocks in the portfolio are selected and monitored by Michael F. Napoli, Senior Analyst.

VALUE LINE MODEL PORTFOLIO 2

Portfolio lIstocks for Income and Potential Price Appreciation, combines our Timeliness Ranking System with an investment objective for above-average income and is primarily suitable for more conservative investors.To qualify for purchase, a stock’s yield (the estimated annual dividend for the next 12 months divided by the recent stock price) must be higher than the median yield for all approximately 1,700 stocks Value Line follows. The stock must also have a Timeliness rank of at least 3. The higher-than-average yields provide support to the shares in down markets. This portfolio tends to be less volatile because the companies, as a whole, are more likely to be mature and predictable.

VALUE LINE MODEL PORTFOLIO 3

Portfolio lll, stocks with Long-Term Price Growth Potential, is based on the fundamental research of our staff of analysts. This portfolio is suitable for investors with a 3- to 5-year horizon; in terms of risk, it falls somewhere between Portfolios I and II. This portfolio tends to be the most flexible, allowing purchases of a broader array of companies. It is constructed under the principles of modern portfolio theory, which state that the risk of a portfolio should be viewed within the context of a portfolio as a whole, rather than judging the portfolio according to the average rankings of individual securities it holds. To that end, this portfolio is generally well diversified, comprising stocks in a variety of different non-related industries.

VALUE LINE MODEL PORTFOLIO 4

Portfolio IV focuses on stocks with above-average dividend yields. Investors seeking current income are likely to find interest here. Stocks selected for the portfolio must have a yield at least 1% above the median of all dividend-paying stocks tracked in The Value Line Investment Survey, and a Financial Strength rating of at least a B+ at the time of purchase. The senior analyst managing Portfolio IV may sell a holding at any time, replacing it with a new stock with better prospects. Despite the focus on dividend yield and current income, stocks are typically selected from a broad range of industries, providing a meaningful degree of diversification. The portfolio’s risk profile will likely be less than the broader market, given the typical concentration of low-Beta stocks.

For aggressive selections, this service seeks companies that have the potential to generate strong earnings growth over the next 3-5 years, offering more aggressive managers’ recommendations on emerging growth stocks with exceptional long-term capital gains potential.
