Intrinsic carried out a useful statistical comparison that delivered clear results. The comparison took data from investors using Intrinsicโs most popular diversified fund over a period that included significant market fluctuations and negative media coverage. It shows the returns for investors who stayed invested throughout compared to the returns for investors who felt they should sell and missed out on the best month, five best months and ten best months.
