How to read this: growth of a $10,000 stake since 2020, with the annualized (average yearly) return as the headline. * marks a partial first year. These composites are reconstructed from the names that pass our screen today, applied back to 2020 — a labelled backtest, not a live track record, so the long-run figures carry look-ahead. A point-in-time record runs live from here. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
