Key Insight
You will be right roughly two weeks out of every three (win rate 65.13 percent, the highest on the lineup), which is what powers the compounding even though the average loss (3.13 percent) is slightly larger than the average win (2.98 percent). Diversification across 40 names smooths the single-stock noise but does not save you from regime drawdowns. The deepest drawdown ran 497 days from December 2024 through May 2026, the longest single drawdown on the lineup. Sit through those phases and the math still works. 2026 is already up 13.0 percent through May. Sensible sizing for most retail allocators is a 15 to 30 percent satellite sleeve on a large-cap or multi-asset core.
