Altman AI-builder proxy

AI / cloud / semiconductor companies riding the foundational-model wave — high growth, high margins, big TAMs.

The compounding effect of AI on existing businesses will be greater than what any new model can produce on its own.
Sam Altman (paraphrased)
⚠ Important disclaimer — read this first

These strategies are RULE-BASED PROXIES named after well-known investors as a recognizable shorthand for each philosophy. They are NOT those investors' actual portfolios, holdings, or recommendations. The names are used purely as labels for the underlying screening criteria, which are listed in full on every page. ActaClear has no affiliation with any of the named investors. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This is not investment advice — always do your own due diligence.

  • 5-year average net margin ≥ 15% (capital-efficient growth)
  • Latest revenue ≥ $500M
  • Tilted toward semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, and AI-application companies

How would this strategy have performed?

Equal-weight top 20 from this strategy, rebalanced yearly back to equal weight, vs SPY. Read the caveats below.

⚠ Backtest — read these caveats first
  • Survivorship bias: we only see companies that exist in our database today. Anything that was acquired, went bankrupt, or got delisted is invisible. This systematically OVERSTATES historical returns for any rule-based screen — losers are removed.
  • Look-ahead bias (v1): picks are chosen with today's fundamentals, not the fundamentals that were public at the start of the lookback. A true point-in-time backtest is on the roadmap.
  • Price freshness: end prices are the most-recent value in our database, which may lag the live market by weeks for less-popular tickers.
  • Equal-weight, no rebalancing, no transaction costs, no taxes, no dividends reinvested. This is a free rule-based simulation, NOT a track record and NOT investment advice.
