When holding the Stocks/Bonds 20/80 Portfolio, how long should you stay invested to have high probability to achieve a positive return?
Over the selected period (~154 years), the longest duration with a negative return was 61 months (from May 1927 to May 1932).
This indicates that, within the same timeframe, any rolling period of 62 months or more has consistently resulted in a positive return.
Understanding this metric is crucial as it highlights the importance of a safe investment horizon. Knowing the minimum duration required to likely see positive returns helps investors set realistic expectations and reinforces the strategy of staying invested through market cycles. This approach can mitigate the emotional reactions to short-term market fluctuations and enhance the likelihood of achieving financial goals.
