Backtest copying Nicholas Van Taylor this year
What copying Nicholas Van Taylor would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2019-02-15, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $10,801 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $28,398.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 26% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 1,943 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +0.3% a year against +14.4% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 14.1 percentage points behind the index.
