Staying Invested Over Timing the Bottoms
Buying the dip on a stock like UI looks easy on a historical chart, but living through it is a high-stakes game. When a “bargain” keeps dipping, the volatility often forces investors to lose their nerve and exit right before the recovery begins. To actually capture that upside, you need a strategy that makes “staying invested” a mechanical reality rather than a test of willpower.
The Trefis High Quality Portfolio (HQ) is engineered to give you that staying power. By diversifying across 30 quality stocks, it dampens the stomach-churning drops of a market dip while retaining upside exposure. The HQ strategy has outpaced the S&P 500, S&P Mid-cap, and Russell 2000, and has returned > 105% since inception.
