QQQ's 11.12% annual return is tempting, but the -83% drawdown forces most investors to panic sell. Uncle Haowai reveals through 25.4 years of backtest data: the three-asset portfolio achieves 11.06% annual return while reducing maximum drawdown to -49%, improving Sharpe ratio by 67.9%. By scientifically allocating SPY, QQQ, and GLD, you can maintain returns while substantially reducing risk.
Why can the Nasdaq-100 passive index beat 90% of active funds over 27 years? Based on real backtesting from 1999-2025, Uncle Haowai dissects five mechanisms: automatic stock selection, risk-controlling rebalancing, and how 0.18% fees create 45% compounding advantage. Discover the logic behind 1583% returns.
This article analyzes 11 years of backtesting data (2014-2025) comparing 100% Nasdaq 100 allocation versus a three-asset portfolio (40% Nasdaq + 40% Asset A + 20% Asset B). Key findings: all-Nasdaq achieved 19.36% annualized returns but suffered -33.72% max drawdown lasting 714 days; the diversified portfolio delivered 16.99% returns with only -25.72% drawdown and 106-day recovery. Sortino Ratio improved from 0.8769 to 1.0261, proving asset allocation significantly reduces downside risk. Quarterly rebalancing further enhances returns and shortens drawdown periods—a sustainable strategy for ordinary investors. Investing involves risk.
