Brandywine is the Trading Equivalent of a Mulligan on Every Hole

We’ve all been there.

You’re 180 yards out, and you pure one to three feet from the pin—easy birdie. And for a moment you think, if I could do that every time, I’d be on tour. Then you look at the scorecard. Triple bogey on 15. Water ball on 8. Your buddy convinced you to try clearing the trees instead of laying up—and you clipped a branch. It’s not the great shots that make you great. It’s the blow-up holes that keep you at a 20 handicap. (Well, at least for me.)

Now imagine this:

You get a mulligan on every hole. All your worst shots back. What would your handicap be then? For me, probably still 10. But for some of my colleagues reading this: –5. –10?

That’s what Brandywine does for your portfolio.

Brandywine is the trading equivalent of a mulligan on every hole.

Just like in golf, we know it’s the blow-ups that ruin performance. That’s why every Brandywine fund is built to prevent them—not with predictions or market timing, but with a systematic, mathematical process designed to keep you in the game when things fall apart.

We’re not exaggerating. Brandywine is putting advisors on tour. Our Risk Replacement Funds have outperformed their benchmarks by +3% per year on average. 

Here are some of the mulligans we’ve already given:

COVID Crash (Feb 2020 to May 2020)

You thinned a wedge over the green and three‑putted from the fringe. Brandywine outperforms by 1.98% (mulligan given).

2022 Bear market (Jan 2022 to Dec 2023) 

Your friend recommended a 7 iron instead of a 5 and you found the 5 ft deep sand trap 30 yards in front of the green. Brandywine outperforms by 4.30% (mulligan given).

Tariff Tantrum (Feb 2025 to Mar 2025)

You lined up left to make sure you didn't hit it into the road on the road, and what do you know, you hit it into the road on the right. Brandywine outperforms by 0.62% (mulligan given).

 So the next time the market slices one into the water...

Ask yourself: Do you wish you had a re-tee with Brandywine?
