Out-performance comes from discomfort. Let me show you an example.
Below is a simulated 100-stock microcap portfolio after slippage. It is based on a ranking system I have built over the past 15 years.
I have shown it to a few clients to gauge their interest. They like the CAGR but the conversation quickly goes like this...
- We need to reduce the drawdowns (returns go down)
- I want more well-known companies with better
coverage (returns go down)
- Liquidity is too low. I want this to be able to scale to to $500mm (uh...it works up to about $10mm tops)
- Then get more liquid stocks (returns go down)
- Add more positions (returns go down)
- US headquartered companies only (returns go down)
- I want to hold positions for 2-3 years (returns go down)
Every decision above makes the client feel more comfortable. And neuters the portfolio returns.
The solution? Learn to embrace discomfort.
🔹Know the difference between real risk (e.g. that this portfolio will drastically underperform in 10 years time) vs. what makes you feel queasy but historically and statistically has edge.
