how it works
See why people who use a staged selling plan double their money over 12 years
Sources & disclaimers: A Stanford study found that, on average, trades under 10b5-1 plans outperformed the market by about 6%, or approximately 2x over 12 years. See Jagolinzer, "Do insiders trade strategically within the SEC Rule 10b5-1 safe harbor?" Results will depend on your individual factors and circumstances, including your personal investment decision-making. The compound returns of portfolios with consistent average annual returns are greater than those with volatile annual returns, known as "volality drag" or "volality tax". The portfolio presented is hypothetical in nature and only intended for illustrative purpose, results will vary based on your individual factors and circumstances.
