Real positions.
Real capital. Published live.
Investing is the founder's actual book, not a paper portfolio. Every entry, every rationale, every exit trigger goes out on the same feed subscribers see. Composition is split Core 60-65% (anchor positions, multi-quarter theses, low turnover) · Thematic 15-20% (discretionary, macro-regime-driven, rotated when ATLAS quadrant shifts) · Cash ~20% (dry powder for dispersion events or new positions). Weekly review. Triggers for change: thesis breaks, macro regime shift, or target reached.
Above: a stylised multi-quarter position. The dotted lines are the thesis envelope — what the model expects if the macro read is correct. The amber box is a chips-off-table trigger (target reached, rotate). The entry circle is the published entry; the green line is the thesis exit; the red line is the thesis-break stop. Average hold ~11 months.
Core 60-65%
Anchor positions held on multi-quarter theses. Low turnover. Sized for conviction, not size-of-bet. The structural part of the book.
Thematic 15-20%
Discretionary, macro-regime driven. Rotated when ATLAS quadrant shifts (growth × inflation regime change). These are the rotation bets.
Cash ~20%
Dry powder for dispersion events and new positions. Not a passive default — an active allocation that protects optionality and lets the book respond.

Wins are larger than losses.
The grade means what it says.
For each grade, the model declares an expected win-rate band at entry. Below: actual closed-rate vs band. All five grades land inside their declared bands over the rolling 12-month window — the model is well-calibrated.
The model spends most time at new highs.

Three sleeves. One book.
Investing is a real long-term book — not a signal engine. It runs three sleeves: Core for structural exposure, Thematic for ATLAS-driven rotation, Cash for optionality. Each new position is graded A-E by the operator at entry based on conviction strength and macro alignment. Real capital. Live publication. Weekly review.
Multi-Quarter Thesis
Each Core position carries a multi-quarter thesis — what has to be true for the position to hold. Thesis breaks trigger exit, not price alone.
ATLAS Quadrant
Macro regime read (growth × inflation). Quadrant shifts trigger Thematic-sleeve rotation. Discretionary, weekly.
Conviction A–E
Alignment determines grade. A is full agreement. E is marginal. Permanent at entry.
// What it does
Publishes the founder's real long-term book. Three sleeves: Core (multi-quarter theses, 60-65%), Thematic (macro-regime rotation, 15-20%), Cash (dry powder, 20%). Weekly review.
// How it grades
Conviction A–E set at entry by operator. Grade A requires strong thesis + macro alignment; Grade E is speculative thematic. Grade is permanent.
// How returns are reported
Returns reported raw and unweighted. Audited annual: +178% (2023), +94% (2024), +168% (2025). Sharpe 2.10. Reconciled by AuditedTrader.

Honest about the edge. Honest about the limits.
Investing is not a signal engine — it is a live long-term book. Long-Term Alpha is the pillar. Below: the explicit list of what the book claims and does not claim — written down, on the record.
Operating Envelope
- Live publication of the founder's long-term book · real capital
- Three sleeves: Core 60-65% · Thematic 15-20% · Cash ~20%
- Grading A through E by thesis strength + macro alignment, set at entry
- ~11-month average hold · weekly review · 42 signals YTD
- Returns reported raw and unweighted, before fees and slippage
- Cryptographically timestamped at the moment of publication
- Audited annually by AuditedTrader · 2020 — 2025
Out of Scope
- Operating as a signal engine · this is a real book, not an algorithm
- High signal frequency · book turnover is by design low
- Fee-adjusted or slippage-included returns · execution is yours
- A guarantee against drawdowns · max DD has reached 34% historically
- Performance during illiquid / halted markets · gap-risk excluded
- Any specific position sizing · sizing is a portfolio-level decision
- Investment advice · the model is a signal, not a recommendation
