Director's Dip

Board members loading up after a 2–15% pullback.

When the stock has wobbled but not collapsed, and a director still steps in with six-figure conviction. Best mean return in the lineup (+4.7% over 30 days) with the highest drop-top-5 robustness — even after stripping the five biggest winners, the cohort still averages +3.9%.

How the rule fires

Insider role = Board · transaction is a buy · value ≥ €100,000 · trailing-month return between −15% and −2%.

⚠️ Risks

Mean-reversion bet: works when the dip is overdone, fails when it's the first leg of a real correction. Partners Group buys carried 38% of the backtest result — a single name's run-up matters more than this cohort's broad ticker count suggests. Hit rate of 59% means ~40% of trades lose.
