What copying Lamar Smith would have returned

$10,000 invested on 2014-01-16, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $52,308 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $43,808.

That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 97% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 3,221 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +12.6% a year against +12.3% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 0.3 percentage points ahead of the index.
