What copying Michael Garcia would have returned

$10,000 invested on 2020-11-23, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $10,438 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $21,694.

That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 18% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 1,494 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +15.7% a year against +13.7% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 2.0 percentage points ahead of the index.
