Diversification

Spreading capital across positions whose risks don't move together. For systematic traders it applies twice: across assets, and across strategies — a mean-reverter and a trend-follower on the same ETF often lose at different times. Multi-sleeve accounts operationalize this by running several strategies with independent allocations.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this page is investment advice. Live trading involves risk of loss.
