The other day I mentioned the Cambria Trinity ETF (TRTY) in passing, noting that it usually looks like a tough fund to hold. Testfol.io shows that it has compounded at 3.89% versus 3.64% for inflation. It has also been pretty volatile in exchange for the low growth rate.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.
