Methodology
  • The Krypton Model Portfolio is Krypton Research's tracked model portfolio: positions are sized by conviction, the book is fully invested, and values are tracked daily from recorded closing prices. It is a model, not the performance of any individual's account.
  • Both series are cumulative returns from Dec 23, 2025 (indexed to 100) over the same dates, on the same price-return basis. The benchmark is the S&P 500 (price index); neither series counts dividends.
  • Figures are rounded to one decimal place for display.
  • Krypton Research is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Full portfolio methodology and disclosures.
