Warren Buffett doesn’t like hedge funds because of their high fees and recommends index funds. However, investors don’t have to pay hedge funds anything to invest in their top 10 stock picks. Let’s take a look at how our approach fared recently.
In 2019, the top 10 hedge fund stocks returned 41.4% and beat the S&P 500 Index funds by 10.1 percentage points. You could have been 10% richer if you had followed our recommendation in 2019. Things didn’t change much in 2020. The top 10 hedge fund stocks returned 1% in 2020 (through May 1st) and beat the S&P 500 Index funds by an additional 12.9 percentage points. If you had been listening to our advice, you wouldn’t have noticed the effects of the coronavirus crash in your portfolio at all. Also, you would have been 12.9% richer.
