Buy and Hold
Buy and Hold is a long-term investment strategy where an investor purchases securities and holds them for an extended period regardless of short-term market fluctuations. The approach is based on the belief that markets tend to rise over time, allowing patient investors to benefit from compounding returns and reduced transaction costs.
Example
“Rather than trying to time the market, he adopted a buy and hold strategy with a diversified index fund portfolio.”
