The real question is which strategies can survive across multiple market cycles But the simplicity of the display often hides the complexity of the system. How can capital identify strategies that last rather than those that fade quickly This is why the displayed number should be treated as a starting point, not a conclusion. The headline figure is usually much easier to observe than the net outcome. The source of the return matters just as much as the size of it. At that point, the obvious q...
