What copying Scott H. Peters would have returned

$10,000 invested on 2014-08-12, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $13,163 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $41,606.

That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 24% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,858 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +10.0% a year against +12.6% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 2.6 percentage points behind the index.
