About

Copies ACR Alpine Capital Research, LLC's quarterly 13F holdings in the companies we cover, weighted by reported value: it buys on the first trading day after each 13F is filed (up to 45 days after the quarter) and holds until the next filing. A 13F shows long US-listed positions only, at the quarter's end, so this misses shorts, cash, bonds, non-US holdings and trading within the quarter.

Backtests are hypothetical and use today's listed companies only, which flatters results. Past performance does not predict future returns. This is research, not investment advice. How we backtest
