Clone returns replicate each manager's 13F at reported weights with the real disclosure lag; the S&P 500 figure beneath is measured over that manager's identical window (SPY total return). Because each manager has a different amount of 13F history, the two columns cover different spans — compare each manager against their own benchmark row, not across columns. Methodology.

From SEC EDGAR Form 13F-HR filings (2026Q1 / 2026Q1). Long US-listed equities only — cash, shorts, bonds, and non-US positions are not disclosed, and both managers' real books extend beyond what a 13F shows. Not investment advice.
