How the holdings did against the S&P 500.

1 year: +16.2% /yr; S&P 500 +20.1%

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.
