Results in the open. Strategy behind closed doors.
The real track record of one portfolio, rebuilt every week from the brokerage account and set against the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow. Every week is posted, good or bad. The positions stay private.
Results come from the Robinhood account, as of the Oct 26, 2026 close. Not investment advice, and not an offer to sell securities.

How the numbers work
One real account
Rebuilt from the trade history and daily closing prices of a Robinhood account. Nothing back-tested or hypothetical.
Time-weighted return
Each day is measured on the stocks held, then the days are chained. Deposits and withdrawals don't count as performance.
Shown before leverage
The account uses margin. Returns here are on the stocks held, before borrowing costs. Leverage made real swings larger both ways.
Price returns
S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Dow, without dividends. Recent weeks of the Dow and Nasdaq are tracked through DIA and ONEQ.

Who runs Augere
I'm Jun Zhang. Augere Capital is my own portfolio, and I post its results here every week.
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 a 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 market?
It holds about 15 stocks instead of 500, so a single company can move it a lot. The weekly ledger shows every swing.
How often is this updated?
Every week, using Friday's closing prices.
Is this investment advice?
No. It's a record of one portfolio, shared for information only. Past results don't predict future results.
