Key Insight
You will be right roughly two weeks out of every three, which is what powers the compounding even though the average loss (3.11 percent) is slightly larger than the average win (3.01 percent). Diversification across 40 names smooths the single-stock noise but does not save you from regime drawdowns. The two longest drawdown episodes ran 210 days and 147 days back-to-back through 2022 to mid-2023. Sit through those phases and the math still works. Sensible sizing for most retail allocators is a 15 to 30 percent satellite sleeve on a large-cap or multi-asset core.

Net return is computed as Gross 764.68 percent minus Cost 130.25 percent equals 634.43 percent. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
