A portfolio of the filer's 20 largest 13F positions, weighted by value, bought the trading day after each 13F was filed and held until the next one was: what copying this filer could have earned. 13Fs show long US-listed positions only, so this is an estimate of the stock picks, not the fund's reported returns.
