An equal-weight 10-name tech/AI sleeve with quarterly rebalances. OOS ~12.8%/yr, but ~27.5% max drawdown and lower risk-adjusted return than SPY. A disciplined, transparent, tech-centric diversification complement to the S&P 500.
Inspired by Pieter Levels (aka @levelsio on X), a self-taught developer and serial entrepreneur, the CEO Deadlift Index takes a unique approach to investing. Known for launching over 40 startups—several of which have become highly successful—Pieter brings a mindset of resilience, self-reliance, and agility to his work. This index reflects similar traits by focusing on companies led by CEOs who prioritize physical strength, specifically those engaged in weightlifting or deadlifting, as a metaphor for strong, disciplined, and resilient leadership. Key Principles of the CEO Deadlift Index Strong Leadership Equals Strong Performance: This index holds the belief that CEOs who build physical resilience apply similar discipline to their companies, potentially leading to robust financial results. Dynamic Trading Strategy: With a weekly rebalancing and a momentum threshold of 10-15%, the index actively captures gains in the market while leveraging the momentum of companies with resilient leaders. Risk Management with Profit Potential: Trailing stop-losses and quarterly reviews keep the portfolio adaptable, aligning with the rigorous approach of its CEO role models. The CEO Deadlift Index isn’t just an investment portfolio; it’s a tribute to leaders who embody strength and resilience, crafted in honor of Pieter Levels’ entrepreneurial philosophy.
