May 2001April 2026 · benchmark: S&P 500 Total Return · data as of Apr 23, 2026 · How we calculated this →

Hypothetical, backtested performance based on the methodology applied to historical data. Members who execute the same trades may not achieve the same results due to timing, fees, taxes, and individual circumstances. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Hedge fund clients typically pay $20,000+ a year for similar institutional research. Advising Alpha publishes the same caliber of work for individual investors at a fraction of that price.

Why two tiers

Free covers the first layer of alpha. Pro covers the second.

Brinson-Hood-Beebower attribution of 25 years of our portfolio history shows two distinct sources of alpha. Each earns its keep. Together, they compound into outcomes that look very different from passive index investing.

Layer 1 · Free

Sector allocation

The eleven SPDR sector ETFs, weighted to match Core 20. In our 25-year backtest, Core 20’s sector mirror beat the S&P 500 by 355 percentage points. Available in Sector Alpha, our free model portfolio.

Layer 2 · Pro

Stock selection

The actual stocks held inside each sector. In the same 25-year backtest, the stock-selection layer added another 1,544 percentage points on top of Core 20’s sector tilts.

What you walk away with

Pro is built to give you three things on day one, and to keep delivering them every quarter the markets are open.

4 complete strategies, ready to run

Every position, every weight, every trade

See exactly what each portfolio owns and why. The moment a portfolio rebalances we send you the new trades by email so you can act on the same day we do.

A short thesis on every holding

Each position comes with a brief investment thesis: the role it plays, what could go right, and what could change. No black boxes. You always know why a stock is in the portfolio.

Pro members include self-directed investors building their own portfolios, professional advisors looking for a research edge for their clients, and family-office teams that want a steady stream of vetted ideas. Use it however serves you.
