Despite this 'long, slow bleed' of losses, experts are whispering about a 'turnaround' as quants claw back roughly 30% of summer setbacks in just the last week of July. As one insider said, the fund is 'still up through 2025's first seven months'—talk about a bumpy roller coaster with a silver lining!
