Hi Apes!🍌

I am very excited to launch 2 equity-only Indices that (fingers crossed) will beat the markets handily over a rolling 1-3 year timeframe. These are the:

  • Banana Index: Best ideas within a global, unconstrained portfolio (15-25 names)

  • Small Banana Index: Best ideas limited to global companies under US$10 billion in market capitalization (15-25 names)

Some quick rules:

  1. There will not be any day-trading, leverage, or options in these portfolios. As with my investment philosophy, I seek the best ideas with favourable risk/reward on a 1-3 year investment horizon. Also, leverage is usually where portfolios go to die :/ (don’t ask me how I know)

  2. Maximum of 10% cash position in portfolios

  3. There will be tactical buys/sells on the edges (maybe a few times per month) and I will send these through the chat as and when I decide to make changes (remember to join the chat here if you haven’t)

  4. Periodic performance updates on the indices and holdings will be done in our month end portfolio reviews so keep a look out for those!
