Because top managers operate with a fifty-three to fifty-four percent win rate, accepting daily failure is intrinsic to investing. We evaluate managers using comprehensive analytics including win-loss ratios, slugging percentages, and sector alpha. We manage risk strictly at the portfolio level with formal drawdown constraints while cultivating a firm-wide culture of humility.
