Everything timeless lives here, with the ambition to provide useful instruments for an investor's cockpit so that you can fly your own plane with confidence.

Disciplined investors sit down with their instruments at least once a month and ask where things actually stand. Each Cockpit Report gathers the dials that matter: returns across the main asset classes, performance and risk statistics for the classic portfolio strategies, a reading of interest rates and credit spreads, an update to the equity watchlist. It then sets all of them against the news that shaped the period under review. Every issue is here, the freshest at the top.

The thousand most relevant listed companies in the world on one screen. Sort by return, size, sector, currency, volatility or drawdown, and open any name for its price history, rebased to 100 or as an actual share price.

Seven passive, total-return benchmarks built from low-cost ETFs, ordered from conservative to aggressive. Compare ten years of performance and risk, simulate the drag of costs, and see exactly what each portfolio holds, so you can judge your own against a clear reference.

Build any allocation from the building-block ETFs and test it against the seven model portfolios over the period you choose. Turn your assumptions about risk and return into evidence drawn from a decade of daily data.

Investors face many decisions. One of the most consequential is whether to attempt to time the market or to keep a buy-and-hold strategy. This game lets you experiment with market timing on real-world securities, and reach your own conclusion about how it performs against buying and holding.
