Focus Investing

Portfolio management appears to be locked between two strategies:

Active portfolio: Varied approaches. Portfolio diverges from benchmark allocation with the aim of adding value.

Index investing: Passive buy and hold approach (broadly diversified portfolio designed to mimic the behavior of a specific benchmark index).

Choose a few companies with above average returns in the past and with a high probability of continuing that trend

Make your investments by placing the highest percentage weightings on the highest-probability events

As long as nothing deteriorates leave the portfolio largely intact over the long term

Be patient, time will tell you if you were right or wrong, nobody else can
