Total returns: November 2018 through January 2023 vs Benchmark SPY-TLT
Total returns: Strategy +137.5% vs Benchmark +29.4%
CAGR: Strategy +22.9% vs Benchmark +6.3%
CAGR inflation adjusted: Strategy +18.1% vs Benchmark +2.3%
Max. Drawdown: Strategy 24.2% vs Benchmark 28.7%
MAR ratio: Strategy 0.94 vs Benchmark 0.22
MAR ratio inflation-adjusted: Strategy 0.75 vs Benchmark 0.08
