@BenWP. I'm not educated enough to venture an opinion on hedging, except I wouldn't buy a fund that tried to time when to hop back and forth. I picked the fund because of its showing on mutual fund observer premium.I don't know about regime change. IHDG is the top performer in my taxable account over the last twelve months. It's closely followed by two tech funds and FSMEX. VWIGX is in between the tech and health funds.
In the IRA, GRID, XBI, and FSCSX outperformed IHDG. Due to the price at which I bought XBI, I am still well underwater.
If it wasn't so early in the morning here, I'ld try to come up with some clever twist on regime change, and Keynes observation about how long markets can remain irrational.
I have always figured the point of diversification is to already be there when the market turns in a new direction. If indeed, the market is turning in a new direction, many people will end up paying a premium to join up--like me buying XBI. I was luckier with my timing on the tech funds and GRID.
What are the 5% of health care fund peers who have made more than 50% annualized over the last six years? Or is this "outperforming 95% of peers" just a made up figure to make it seems that the 50% returns reported are not equally fictitious?Outperformed 95% of peers over the last six years with less risk.
