Philosophy
"Winning by not Losing" is the core philosophy of myStockDNA, emphasizing risk management and capital preservation over excessive risk-taking. This strategy, influenced by sports and financial disciplines, emphasizes the importance of risk management and preservation of capital rather than taking excessive risks in the pursuit of victory.
In portfolio construction, this philosophy fosters an evolutionary approach where stocks, ETFs, and money managers compete for allocation. Consistent performers are rewarded, while underperformers are sidelined.
Drawing inspiration from Billy Beane’s Moneyball approach to baseball and the disciplined strategies of the Turtle Traders, myStockDNA’s Darwin targets achieving superior returns as a natural outcome of managing risk.
