What copying John James would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2024-09-02, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $10,283 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $13,408.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 28% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 547 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +7.1% a year against +15.4% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 8.3 percentage points behind the index.
