Backtest copying Justin Amash this year
What copying Justin Amash would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2018-08-02, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $19,544 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $28,189.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 63% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,077 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +12.1% a year against +13.2% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 1.1 percentage points behind the index.
