Results in the open. Strategy behind closed doors.
The real track record of my portfolio, rebuilt day by day from the Robinhood account and set against the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow. The results are public. The positions stay private.
Results come from the Robinhood account, as of the Oct 23, 2026 close. Not investment advice, and not an offer to sell securities.
You vs the market
Return of the stocks held in the Robinhood account, rebuilt day by day from every trade, next to the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, Dow and a 4.2% savings account.
The track record starts Dec 31, 2025. Tap YTD to see the full year.
Holdings return is time-weighted: each day measures the change in value of the positions held, adjusted for that day's buys and sells. It does not include the effect of margin borrowing, interest, or deposits and withdrawals.
Indexes are price returns from the Dec 31, 2025 close. Nasdaq is the Nasdaq Composite. Savings assumes a steady 4.2% APY, about what top online savings accounts paid in October 2026; actual rates moved during the year. Ranges rebase every line to 0% on the first day shown.
Under the hood
Risk and month-by-month results in 2026. Computed from the same daily returns as the chart above, before margin.
How the numbers work
Every figure on this page comes from one brokerage account and one method, applied the same way every week.
One real account
Rebuilt from the trade history and daily closing prices of my Robinhood account. Nothing here is back-tested or hypothetical.
Time-weighted return
Each day's return is measured on the stocks held, then the days are chained together. Money moving in or out of the account doesn't count as performance.
Shown before leverage
The account uses margin. Returns here are on the stocks held, before borrowing costs. Leverage made the account's real swings bigger in both directions.
Every Saturday
Refreshed after each Friday close, in good weeks and bad. The date above the chart shows the last update.
Benchmarks are price returns without dividends. The S&P 500 is the index itself. Recent weeks of the Dow and Nasdaq Composite are tracked through DIA and ONEQ, the funds that follow those indexes.

Who runs Augere
I'm Jun Zhang. Augere Capital is my own portfolio, and I publish its results here every week, the good stretches and the bad ones.
Your 2 to 3 lines go here: your background, why you started Augere, and how you think about choosing stocks, without naming any.
The goal is a track record anyone can check before Augere ever takes outside money.
- Record since Dec 31, 2025
- About 15 stocks
- Augere: Latin for "to make grow"
Common questions
Can I invest with you?
Not yet. Today this is my personal account. If Augere opens as a fund, it will only be open to investors who meet the SEC's accredited-investor rules, and people on the email list will hear first.
Why don't you show what you own?
The results are public so you can judge the record. The positions stay private so nobody can copy or trade against them. Most hedge funds work the same way.
Why does it swing so much more than the S&P 500?
It holds about 15 stocks instead of 500, so a single company can move it a lot. The Drawdown chart under Analytics shows the roughest stretches.
How often is this updated?
Every Saturday, using Friday's closing prices.
Is this investment advice?
No. It's a record of one person's portfolio, shared for information only. Past results don't predict future results.
