Active Portfolio hits new highs, surpassing $350K with strong long-term returns
April marked a defining milestone for the Active Portfolio, with portfolio value crossing the $350,000 threshold for the first time since inception, reaching $355,000 at the end of the month. The month helped the Portfolio reach a return of +255.02% return since inception in 2022 and a CAGR of 37%, pushing the portfolio to a new all-time high.
The Active Portfolio is a model portfolio we launched in mid-2022 with an assumed starting capital of $100,000, consisting of our highest-conviction medium- to long-term investment ideas within the MS Microcap Quality Index (MSMqi) platform.
At the end of April, the average return across Side Pocket Trades stood at 18.81%. Side Pocket Trades are occasional, smaller, short-term opportunities we share via alerts to generate additional alpha. The Side Pocket returns are NOT included in the AP return stats.
