Seeking to help long-term investors compound their wealth across boom & bust environments. Offense wins games. Defense wins championships.

  • Our Investment Philosophy

Cockroaches aren’t cuddly, but they do two things well that we also want out of our portfolios: they’re hard to kill and they compound fast.

The Cockroach Approach lays out our philosophy on how investors can combine offensive and defensive assets to build resilient, diversified portfolios that can better compound their wealth for the long run while minimizing risks in the short run.

Cockroach Strategy

Why do we invest?

For us, our savings and investments are more than just numbers on a screen. They represent the fruits of hard work in the past and the promise of being able to do things in the future, whether that’s providing for children, taking care of a sick loved one, or enjoying retirement.

We also don’t believe that we (or anyone) can consistently predict future macroeconomic events. A global pandemic was not our 2020 bingo card (and we haven’t seen a lot of bingo cards where it was).

In that case, how do we protect and grow our wealth for an unknown future?

For the past decade, we’ve been researching and working on the answer to that question.

The Cockroach Approach is our answer. It is a way of approaching building a diversified portfolio with the goal of compounding wealth effectively over decades without needing to predict macroeconomic events.

It seeks to balance the two things we believe most investors care about in their portfolios:

  • Having a lot of assets in the future: That is, maximizing the long-term compounding, or expected terminal wealth of a portfolio.
  • Having enough assets in the interim: That is, making sure that if we need to use our assets for a family emergency, illness or other unexpected life event (dare I say a global pandemic?) in the near term, that it will be there when we need it.

We call this the Dual Mandate of Compound Growth: how do we construct a portfolio that balances increasing long-term wealth while managing drawdowns in the short to medium term?

Sequencing Risk: Why The Expected Value Is Not What You Should Expect

Expected value (EV) is a popular and often cited concept among investors. However, it’s a bit of a misnomer and has a few serious limitations. To briefly recap, expected value is a calculation made by multiplying the probability of something happening by the magnitude of the outcome. Let’s say you give me a bet on a fair die. The die has 6 sides so each side should show up 16.6% of the time – that’s 6 to 1 odds. Now let’s say I offer you

Stocks for the Long Run?

“Stocks for the Long Run” is the mantra of many investors today. The U.S. stock market’s stellar performance, especially post 2008, and its rarity of long-term losses have become something of a gospel. Renowned experts like Eugene Fama and Ken French support this belief, estimating high probability of substantial gains over extended horizons. Indeed, the U.S. stock market was the strongest performing market in the 20th century. As Stocks for the Long Run author Jeremy Siegel noted: “… U.S. stocks have been the best long-term investment

Why Offense Wins Games, But Defense Wins Championships

We are excited to introduce a new addition to our suite of investment strategies – The Defense Strategy. It combines Mutiny Fund’s Volatility Strategy and Commodity Trend Strategy. The Volatility Strategy is designed to act as a so-called ‘black swan’ investment, achieving asymmetric gains in times of high volatility or tail risk (e.g. March 2020). The Commodity Trend Strategy is designed to profit during inflationary periods (e.g. 2022) as well as during extended ‘crisis periods’ for stocks and bonds (e.g. 2008). In combining these two
