The S&P 500 has been one of the strongest long-term investment choices in the world. Verity Growth does not argue against that. Verity Growth is built for investors who want a disciplined way to look beyond it when leadership changes.
It follows one daily ETF signal before the U.S. market opens — designed to pursue stronger long-term compounding while staying flexible across different parts of the market.
One plan. One position. More places to look for opportunity.
Verity Growth gives one clear daily position. You do not have to choose between multiple ETFs, build a basket, or decide how much to put into each one. The signal tells you what Verity Growth favors today — so you can follow the plan without trying to read the entire market yourself.
When the S&P 500 is leading, Verity Growth can follow that strength. But the S&P 500 is still one kind of exposure: mostly large U.S. companies, weighted toward the biggest winners. That can be excellent for long periods. It can also struggle when leadership moves somewhere else.
Verity Growth is built to look across more ETF opportunities — large cap, small cap, value, quality, momentum, defensive sectors, and gold when the system calls for it. The goal is simple: use the S&P 500 when it deserves to lead, and look elsewhere when the market gives better signals somewhere else.
Matched-window backtest, 2015–2026, $200/day. Researched results, not a projection.
This backtest shows what happened when $200 was invested every trading day into Verity Growth's daily signal and those purchases were held over time. It is compared against doing the same thing with the S&P 500 through VOO. This is not a prediction. It is not a promise. It is the researched backtest result over the matched test period.
Live chart data is unavailable in this preview. Metrics shown are the locked backtest finals.
The S&P 500 performed extremely well during much of the 2010s and early 2020s. But that has not always been the case. From 2000 through 2009, the S&P 500 went through what many investors call a “lost decade.” Large U.S. stocks struggled, while other parts of the market — including smaller companies, value stocks, and global diversification — offered better opportunities.
That is the point of Verity Growth. Not to predict the next lost decade. Not to claim the S&P 500 is weak. But to avoid being limited to only one kind of market leadership. If large-cap U.S. stocks are working, Verity Growth can participate. If leadership shifts, Verity Growth has more places to look.
A simple S&P 500 investment owns the index as it is built. Verity Growth uses a broader ETF opportunity set — so the plan can look across different kinds of exposure:
Large-cap growth — when dominant U.S. companies are leading.
Small-cap and value — when smaller or cheaper companies are showing stronger opportunity.
Quality and momentum — when the market rewards stronger business trends or price leadership.
Defensive sectors and gold — when the system calls for a more protective position.
The user experience stays simple. The opportunity set underneath is broader. One daily signal. More ways to adapt.

Verity Growth did not beat the S&P 500 by a huge amount every year. That is not the point. The point is that even a small annual edge can become meaningful when repeated over time. In the 2015–2026 backtest, Verity Growth finished about $129,000 ahead of the S&P 500 using the same $200-per-trading-day investment schedule.
A small edge can look invisible in the short term. Over years, it can become the difference between following the market and slowly pulling ahead of it.
Verity Growth is Verity's most dynamic plan, so investors should expect a more active ride in pursuit of stronger long-term growth. Measured against the S&P 500 (via VOO).
This section shows where Verity Growth allocated dollars across the 2015–2026 backtest. The point is not that every exposure always helped. The point is that Verity Growth was not forced to stay in one market box — it could follow different parts of the market as conditions changed.
Verity exposure shows the share of dollars allocated across the 2015–2026 backtest. Cash is excluded. Gold is shown separately. ETF sector look-through is approximate. VOO sector weights are shown as of Feb 28, 2026 and are subject to change.
Beyond sectors, this is the mix by geography and asset class: U.S. equity, international equity, and gold. It shows how far the plan ranged outside U.S. stocks across the backtest.

Verity Growth is for investors who want to try to beat the stock market over time. That is why it is measured against the S&P 500 through VOO. Verity Standard is also measured against the S&P 500. Verity Steady has a different goal, so it is measured against traditional 60/40-style portfolios. Each plan is judged against the benchmark that matches what it is trying to do.
| Metric | Verity Growth | S&P 500 |

Matched-window comparison, 2015–2026. Drawdown is the average rolling 12-month dip. These are researched backtest results, not a projection of future returns.
This is a backtest. The results show what happened in researched historical testing. They do not guarantee what will happen in the future.
The chart uses $200 every trading day. This is a consistent accumulation example. It shows total value over the test period, not a personalized forecast.
Verity Growth uses one daily signal. The plan publishes one ETF position before the U.S. market opens. A defensive cash/gold overlay may appear when active.
The benchmark is VOO. Verity Growth is compared to the S&P 500 through VOO because that is the most relevant benchmark for this plan.
Exposure figures are approximate. Verity exposure reflects the share of dollars allocated across the backtest. Cash is excluded. Gold is shown separately. ETF look-through is approximate. Index weights are dated snapshots and change over time.
This is not investment advice. Verity Equity publishes research signals. You decide whether and how to use them. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Verity Growth is Verity's most ambitious plan. It is for investors who respect the S&P 500, but do not want to be limited to it. Get one daily ETF signal before the market opens — built to pursue stronger long-term compounding across a broader opportunity set.
