Explanation

A steady portfolio indicates low turnover, which suggests long-term investment orientation rather than active trading. Lower portfolio turnover reduces transaction costs like brokerage, taxes, and market impact. Both benefits accrue from stable holdings - long-term perspective and cost efficiency. This is characteristic of a disciplined buy-and-hold approach.
