Why does this matter? Significant stock moves – up or down – deserve your attention. Sharp declines in fundamentally strong names can offer smart buying opportunities. And when momentum aligns with solid fundamentals, riding the trend can be highly rewarding. Among these stocks, we find Workday (WDAY) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) attractive.
Smart investing isn’t about stock picking or prediction, it’s about asset allocation. See how Trefis’ Boston-based wealth management partner does it. It has included the High Quality Portfolio as part of its asset allocation strategy.

Picking winners on a consistent basis is not an easy task – especially given the volatility associated with a single stock. Instead, the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
