Win by Not Losing
Wall Street often advises staying invested, warning that missing the market's 10 Best Days can significantly reduce your returns. As a tactical risk manager, we would argue, “Yes, but missing the 10 Worst Days increases your returns to 15.70%!”
Achieving that may be unrealistic but consider missing BOTH the 10 Worst AND the 10 Best Days – your returns are still better than if you just buy and hold. This perspective emphasizes the value of strategic risk management in your portfolios. We believe there are benefits to both investment styles and will continue monitoring portfolio risk for all market environments.
