What its reported holdings returned
Held through each quarter, the holdings it reported returned +34.2% over the 8 quarters to 30 September 2026, against +32.9% for the S&P 500.
Not the fund's own return: each 13F's holdings are kept unchanged until the next one, so trades inside a quarter, dividends, cash and fees are left out. A rough guide to how its picks have done over time.
