When software was expensive - thin, horizontal, best-of-breed software stacks extracted rents across every business.
Now that software is cheap - value moves to vertically integrated businesses that deliver opinionated end-to-end experiences.

Good question. We are not looking to compete on a YoY basis with benchmarks.
We look for quality companies that we think will see excellent growth over the next 3 years. Our 2025 returns were due to positioning correctly in 2023-2024. We also are always monitoring geopolitical developments and economic capital flows (AI build out).

@MrNQDC Last year, correct. Our growth model returned 68%. That is also just the portfolio side and doesnโt include value creation from the most important part, Financial & Tax Planning.
68% annual growth - Value added. Let me simplify. If client A had 5mm invested. After last year Client A has 8.4mm invested.
This is just public markets and does not include tax savings, efficient allocations of personal capital, and cash management.
Wealth creation and accumulation.
@MrNQDC Actions of the advisor. There are 2 cohorts out there - advisors that manage and build their own portfolios and advisors that quarterback. We are the former.
New paper from Hendrik Bessembinder just analyzed 100 years of stock market data.
And it's shocking.
Out of nearly 30,000 stocks analyzed...
just 30 companies generated ~44% of all wealth created.
