Why Buy and Hold Is Failing: Building Portfolios for Volatility, Regime Shifts, and the Next Market Cycle
Description
In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Greg Babij, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Sundial, to explore why traditional buy-and-hold strategies may struggle in a market defined by faster cycles, rising volatility, and structural change.
From the rise of zero-day options to the importance of tactical exposure, tail hedging, and trend following, Babij explains how portfolios can be designed to survive growth, recession, inflation, and deflation without relying on predictions.
In this episode:
– Why buy and hold may no longer deliver the same results
– How zero-day options are changing market behavior
– The difference between prediction and probability-based investing
– Why tactical and non-correlated strategies matter more now
– How to construct portfolios that adapt across market regimes
