Correlation rises in panics: international diversification helps until global shocks synchronize briefly — still worth it for serial currency and cycle diversification over decades.

Three thoughtful funds can beat twenty random ones. Count effective bets, not Excel rows.

Annual reviews should delete positions you cannot explain in two sentences; if they survive, keep them.
