All 13F SP500
Backtested performance results are hypothetical and have inherent limitations. Actual results could differ materially from backtested performance and future results could differ
materially from backtested performance. Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future results. In the graph above, “All 13F” represents a strategy that invests quarterly
in the ten largest holdings disclosed on Form 13F-HR by each of the 500+ institutional investors tracked in AlphaClone’s database. The performance accounts for the lag in
timing of the disclosure and is gross of all fees.
§ All hedge funds and institutional
investors with >$100M in assets must
disclose their long holdings quarterly
on SEC Form 13F-HR
§ An index constructed from the largest
ten holdings disclosed by all filers out
performs the broader market over
time.
§ Indexes constructed from Form 13F
disclosures can be effective because
holding periods are relatively long (17
months).

All 13F Clone Score SP500
A systematic approach that indexes only select
managers can add significant value
Backtested performance results are hypothetical and have inherent limitations. Actual results could differ materially from backtested performance and future results could differ
materially from backtested performance. Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future results. In the above graph, “All 13F” represents a strategy that invests quarterly
in the ten largest holdings disclosed in Form 13F-HR by each of the 500+ institutional investors tracked in AlphaClone’s database. “Clone Score” represents a strategy that invests
quarterly in holdings disclosed in Form 13F-HR from managers with the highest Clone Score – a proprietary ranking methodology developed by AlphaClone to measure the
efficacy of following a manager’s holdings over time. The performance accounts for the lag in the timing of the disclosure and is gross of all fees.
