What copying Thomas MacArthur would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2015-03-05, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $34,996 on 2026-11-10. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $38,147.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 96% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,938 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +9.6% a year against +12.3% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 2.7 percentage points behind the index.
