THE UNCLESAM ETF INDEX is non cap-weighted and tracks a selection of United States domestic bonds and treasuries, as well as the Dollar itself. As in all other New Capital Club Indexes, the components selected for UNCLESAM were chosen to minimize correlations and make the most robust tracking resource. The components are TLT (Barclay's 20+ Year Bonds), TIP (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), PZA (Insured Municipal Bonds), IEF (Barclay's 7-10 Year Treasuries), UUP (Dollar Bullish Index). The INDEX itself is used to calibrate the Neural Network which generates trading signals for each of the INDEX's components.
