How copying its 13F would have done
CopyS&P 500$10,000 copying Lilly Endowment Inc's usable filed holdings in companies we cover from January 11, 2008, rebalancing at the first weekly close after each usable filing and holding until the next, against the S&P 500 (total return). Missing prices carry their last observed value. Marked weekly, log scale. Before costs and taxes; misses trading within each quarter and anything 13F does not show (shorts, cash, bonds, non-US holdings).

A 13F lists long positions in US-listed shares at the quarter's end, filed up to 45 days later; it does not show shorts, cash, bonds, non-US holdings or trades within the quarter. Positions in companies outside our coverage are not listed here. Research, not investment advice.
