German term or phrase: ein Rein und Raus
Glaubt man Finanzwissenschaftlern, kann ein Anleger langfristig durch ein Rein und Raus aus dem Akitenmarkt nicht besser abschneiden als ein Index.

This is from a magazine article on a fund manager. Could anyone propose a suitable English expression for this, in particular how to relate to the 'equity markets' bit?

Thanks for your ideas!

moving in and out
Explanation:
I like "dipping in and out" but it implies a rather casual "playing" with the market, rather than serious dealing. You move in and out of markets to spread risk, I think.

actively trading


Explanation:
Active trading doesn't necessarily mean buying and selling shares on a regular basis - it just means the opposite of doing nothing and owning every share in the index.
