That way you get to view a balance between the funds past performance and how much risk they took to generate that performance. If they took a lot of risk odds are that they’ll be very badly affected by a down turn in the markets. So I’d generally agree with the article, understanding risk and risk-adjusted returns, having a long investment time horizon and a well diversified portfolio are core to riding out market volatility.
