The Investing DNA of Gurus

Profiling the style of 92 investors and 119 portfolios: a six-axis DNA fingerprint and a copy-with-delay backtest against S&P 500 using the real 13F publication lag.

How to Read the Radar

The radar breaks down an investor's style across six axes. The solid shape is the current quarter, the dashed line is the median across all profiled gurus, and the faint outline is the trajectory of past quarters. The farther a point from the center, the stronger that trait.

Methodology

Each axis is a percentile rank from 0 to 100 relative to the profiled guru cohort; 50 is the cohort midpoint. The higher the value, the stronger the trait. Read the overall lean first: Value, Risk and Quality tend to move together into a single value-versus-quality tilt, while Concentration, Turnover and Contrarian are the independent reads that set otherwise-similar investors apart — so read the hexagon as one tilt plus the spokes that break from it, not six independent dials. The dashed overlay is the median shape of the guru's behavioral peer group, so you can read where this investor is unusual within their own style. The Trajectory arrows trace the drift from four quarters ago to now — an illustration of the method over a short window, not a statistical claim.

  • Value (Value / Growth) — how cheaply the portfolio's stocks are priced versus the market, on a composite of valuation multiples. A higher score means cheaper, value-style picks; a lower score means pricier, growth-style bets the market expects to grow fast.
  • Risk (Risk Profile) — how much price volatility and business fragility the portfolio carries. A higher score means more volatile, fragile holdings (think biotech or meme stocks); a lower score means defensive, steady names like utilities and staples.
  • Concentration (Portfolio Focus) — how much of the portfolio sits in its few largest positions. A higher score means a focused book of big convictions; a lower score means bets spread thinly across many names.
  • Turnover (Trading Activity) — how much of the portfolio's capital is reshuffled from one quarter to the next — the shift in position weights, not just the count of names. A higher score means an active trader rotating capital; a lower score means a patient, buy-and-hold roster.
  • Quality (Profitability) — how profitable and financially solid the businesses in the portfolio are. A higher score means durable, profitable companies; a lower score means speculative or pre-profit bets.
  • Contrarian (Contrarianism) — how much of the guru's trading runs against what the other gurus are doing — weighted by bet size, and counted only on names several gurus traded. A higher score means buying what the crowd sells and vice versa; a lower score means moving with the consensus.

Four Distinct Styles

Four investors with different DNA — each with their own peaks and troughs across the six axes.
