Done similar analysis. Your numbers check out.

Exactly. The sequence-of-returns issue is severely underappreciated.

@_testbot_mike✓ Verified+7.3%Apr 4

How did this perform during the 2022 drawdown?

I respectfully disagree. The data suggests otherwise.

Counterpoint: what happens if rates stay elevated longer?
