Slow and Steady Wins the Race Investing

June 3, 2015 by Matthew Goff 28 Comments

slow-steadyResearch released last month is turning conventional investing wisdom on its head. At a top investment conference, researchers demonstrated that a number of widely held beliefs about stocks simply have not held up over time. Here’s what they found:

  • Low volatility stocks outperform volatile ones in the long run: Looking at forty years of data, researchers found that low volatility stocks did approximately 5% better than highly volatile picks. Many people, however, tend to think that the riskier a stock is, the more they will gain. The new findings now tell us the opposite is true.
  • Big companies do better than little ones: Researchers found returns for large cap companies were better than for small caps during an analysis of the 1972-2012 time period. While big companies had returns over 12%, small companies were just under the 10% mark.
  • Liquid stocks don’t actually perform as well as less-liquid options: Showing a difference of almost 4%, the research illustrated the benefit of investing in companies that are less liquid.

The takeaway? You don’t have to have a portfolio full of flashy “high-flyers” when it comes to growing your money. While many believe that fast-moving small caps are the better way to go, these new findings suggest that slow, unglamorous and steady often wins the race.
