Investors Collaborative Portfolio Report
January 2024
Welcome welcome, to the first Investors Collaborative Premium Report
Here is it, as promised.
(If you read the initial teaser, this top part will seem very familiar)
Lets hit some quick notes about what exactly we’ll be covering in these reports, since I’ll be sending this report out to the general public and not just existing Premium subscribers.
Total Return of the portfolio.
New Symphonies added to the portfolio, and why they were added.
Symphonies removed from the portfolio, and why they were removed.
Top 5 and Bottom 5 strategies of the month, and detailed breakdowns of each.
What part of the strategy is activating? We’re still expanding our branch analysis capabilities, so these are relatively general currently. I’ll be working on these to add detail for future reports.
Are the statistics still within historic boundaries of expectation? Put simply, has it broken yet?
QuantStats report of each strategy for the previous month.
A 100,000 foot view of what the general goal of the strategy is supposed to be. If I’ve done an associated deep-dive in our free tier newsletter, I’ll do my best to link it. Additionally, if Garen has a YouTube video pertinent to the strategy, an interview with the creator for example, I’ll embed it in the appropriate section.
We’ve got a grand total of 95 strategies currently in the tracking pool, with data going as far back as 08/09/2022 and starts as recent as mid October 2023. Now, there have been changes in when Composer executes orders in that time, so there are limits to the absolute accuracy a lot of older data. However, I believe that some data, even if imperfect, is better than total mystery.
So how does something get included in the portfolio?
As of right now, the criteria is very, very loose. The way we see it, we’re currently in the “testing and proofing phase” of Composer, and decentralized algorithmic design in general. Given the extreme experimental status of the platform when we started this process, a large number of these strategies are here purely for science, and proofing out theories that we’ve had at some point or another.
As we go, I will be pointing out strategies that we generally consider stable and ones that are markedly outside of something we’d ever recommend actual investment in to. Not recommendations or certification, but a general sense of how accurately we feel the strategy is sticking to its “plan” so to speak.
We will be adding to this portfolio periodically. We do not currently have a schedule for when, but the number of new strategies we follow will likely be directly correlated to how popular these reports end up being!
Also, the 4 custom strategies from our Genesis Portfolio are going to be included in this report. I’ll provide links to them below the paywall.
As far as other unique strategies, we’ve made improvements to several other community strategies to remove low volume and delisted tickers. I don’t necessarily count these as selling points though, because given enough time and dedication you could completely replicate them.
Now, as a bit of a teaser, here’s the Composer Screenshot with the start dates and current values of everything.
Alright, got all that? Good!
We are running a 50% launch special till January 14, 2023. Here’s the link to get access to our full dataset.
