Stay invested

As Peter Lynch, legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund manager, once said: “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in the corrections themselves.”

Historically, for the U.S. stock market, the data is clear: the longer you stay invested, the lower the probability of loss. A one-day bet has a 46% chance of being negative, while over ten years it drops to just 6%. Timing the market is speculation — time in the market is investing.

At ECP, we focus on long-term compounding, risk management, and filtering out short-term noise. That discipline is what creates lasting value.
