No portfolio or strategy can be perfect. But can there be a strategy that can work well in a bull market, a bear market, or a stagnant market, generate a decent income, and conserve capital, all at the same time? We also want our strategy to avoid roller-coaster rides of index investing, have low volatility and limited drawdowns in case of deep corrections.
