The Chapwood Investment Portfolio Score(TM) Is a Major Breakthrough for All Investors

DALLAS, TX, Jan 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
Ed Butowsky, managing partner of Chapwood Capital Investment Management
(CCIM), along with his team of experts has created the breakthrough
Chapwood Investment Portfolio Score (CHIP Score)(TM). This newly
developed analytical tool gives investors the ability to objectively
evaluate the strength and health of their portfolio on the basis of
several critical criteria: rate of return, risk, inflation, management and
investment fees, and taxes. In addition to these criteria, it is
imperative to account for how much risk was used to establish a
portfolio's net rate of return and the likelihood of the performance
repeatability. The Chapwood Investment Portfolio Score(TM) allows anyone
to evaluate a portfolio for its true attributes and value in any market
condition.

The methodology instituted by the CHIP Score(TM) is a truly unique
approach to portfolio analysis, thus pioneering the way to methodically
"score" a portfolio's overall strength. The Score makes it easy to answer
the following questions: Is your portfolio worth it? Is your financial
advisor worth it? If a portfolio is not beating inflation after taxes and
fees on a risk adjusted basis, then it isn't worth it and something must
be done to correct the problem.

"We invented this as a way to help people avoid being taken advantage of
by their financial advisors. There's a real lack of transparency in the
investment services arena and investment firms make a lot of money as a
result of this. They want to take advantage of this imbalance of
information between their firms and investors for as long as they can. At
Chapwood, we see this as a tide that's eventually going to change in the
investment industry. Information eventually wins the day," says Butowsky.

Most investors do not understand unstable markets and the volatile economy
and how it relates to their personal investments. Too often advisors put
investments at risk and many investors don't even know it. Firms are
profiting from unstable markets and not necessarily allowing the client to
benefit. Chapwood Capital Investment Management is changing all of that
with the CHIP Score(TM). It's time to simplify things and make it easy for
investors to finally know what the score is, or better yet, what is their
Score.

Investors can visit the Chapwood Capital Investment Management website
(www.chapwoodinvestments.com) to find out their individual CHIP Score.
After answering several questions about their portfolio, they submit their
responses and receive their Score via e-mail. Once they have their CHIP
Score, investors are able to expose inexperienced or careless advisors who
may take advantage of them by ignoring inflation, charging excessive fees,
and dispensing biased or uneducated investment advice.

Chapwood Capital Investment Management (CCIM), the home of the Chapwood
Investment Portfolio Score (CHIP Score)(TM) is a registered boutique
investment management firm with world-class financial experts who take an
intelligent approach to investment management for high net worth
individuals and family offices.
