Three rules. Why the slowest card can be the one you actually keep.
A strategy you abandon at the bottom of a drawdown returns nothing. The whole pitch of this card is that the cushion is what keeps you in the seat. Three checks before that idea earns your money.
01
The cushion is the product. Not a drag on it.
The ten pct debt and ten pct gold are why 2025 cost you 3 points instead of 8, and why the worst week landed shallower than the index. You are not paying for those sleeves with lost return. You are buying the version of the same large-cap bet that you do not bail on at the wrong moment.
02
The lowest CAGR on the shelf can be the highest one you keep.
The 40 pct cards win the sort screen. They also dig holes deep enough that most people sell near the bottom and never see the recovery. 25.03 pct that you hold beats 41 pct that you abandon. The number that matters is the after-behaviour number, and nobody prints that one on a card.
03
The four week cadence is the cost line. Here it is the cheapest on the shelf.
Slowest equity rebalance on the platform means the least brokerage churn. Cost ran about 12 pct of gross over five years, the lowest ratio filed. The faster small-and-mid cards trade more and pay more for it. This one trades less, on purpose, and the receipt is smaller.
Closer
The marketplace sorts by CAGR. Your nervous system sorts by drawdown. The slowest card on the shelf is the one rare place where those two lists finally shake hands.
