They donโ€™t. Every investor wants returns. Almost nobody wants the discomfort that comes with them. But there's a part that often gets missed: Volatility isnโ€™t a malfunction of the market. Itโ€™s how the market charges you for long-term returns. ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป If returns were smooth, you would only have buyers and no sellers. It takes both to make a market. Risk is why excess returns exist. ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น The cost of equity isnโ€™t fees โ€” itโ€™s behaviour. Most underperformance doesnโ€™t come from bad stock picks. It comes from selling during stress and buying back higher. Long-term returns are earned by staying put. The investors who capture equity returns arenโ€™t the smartest. Theyโ€™re the ones who donโ€™t interrupt compounding. Best, Reinhardt.
