Sohn Investment Conference · 2025 · 1-year retrospective
17 fund managers pitched. Here's how they did.
Conference held 2025-05-14 (431 days ago). Each pitch enters a synthetic $100K book at conference open the next trading day; SPY-as-cash methodology; standard v5.4 conviction sizing. Numbers update daily as prices move.
Sum-of-books · 17 speakers × $100K
$2.17M vs SPY $2.18M
-0.9pp vs SPY
Each speaker their own $100K bucket. Cleanest read of pitch quality independent of one another.
Shared bucket · $1.70M across all pitches
$1.97M vs SPY $2.18M
-12.7pp vs SPY
Single shared bucket sized N × $100K. Conviction-tier sizing interacts across speakers — different number, same data.
Methodology note: the two aggregates diverge by 11.8pp. That's the engine's all-on-day-one dynamic: when 17 INITIATE events fire on a single trading day in a shared bucket, the conviction-tier sizing + subsequent shrink mechanics behave differently than 17 independent books. For conferences, sum-of-books is the more honest read — it isolates each manager's pitch quality without bucket-mechanics noise. Shared bucket shown for transparency.
Day-by-day portfolio chart temporarily hidden — the engine output for Sohn 2025 needs a refresh (pitch open-dates aren't flowing through to the daily mark-to-market). Per-speaker outperformance below is accurate; the missing piece is just the intra-window walk. We'll restore the chart once the next backfill runs.
