The Conviction

A descriptive basket of 30 tickers that 30 tracked superinvestors most aggressively accumulate — drawn from a universe of 30 positive-ConvictionScore positions across 9 quarters of 13F data (time-decayed, 6 signal layers), sector-capped at 8 per sector, and conviction-weighted so each slot scales with the intensity of cross-manager accumulation.

This is pure data-display, not investment advice. Not an “optimal” or “ultimate” portfolio. Not a buy recommendation. HoldLens has no licensed financial-advisor credentials. The Conviction reflects aggregate institutional positioning per the public-record 13F snapshot — already 45 days lagged per SEC rules. Rebalances quarterly when new filings land, never daily or hourly. Read the methodology + how this is composed below.

Data current: Q1 2026 · filed 2026-05-15
Informational only — not investment advice. HoldLens tracks institutional positioning from public 13F filings. We are not a registered investment advisor and do not provide recommendations to buy or sell securities. Our 2026 backtest over 221 ticker-quarter pairs found the ConvictionScore has no predictive signal for forward returns (Pearson r = −0.12). The rankings describe what tracked superinvestors were accumulating or selling at the latest 13F snapshot — useful as market intelligence, not as personal investment advice. 13F data is reported with a 45-day SEC filing lag.

How this is composed

1. Universe: every tracked stock with ConvictionScore ≥ +1 (positive net-accumulation across 9 time-decayed quarters)
2. Sort by score descending (heaviest aggregate accumulation first)
3. Walk the list, accept each ticker IF its sector hasn't hit 8 positions (count cap)
4. Stop at 30 positions or universe exhausted
5. Conviction-weighted: each slot = score ÷ sum-of-scores × 100 (higher conviction = larger weight)
6. Refresh when new 13F filings land (quarterly only)

Intentionally simple: conviction-weighted + sector-count cap. No active optimization, no factor tilts, no leverage, no derivatives, no shorts, no “alpha generation” claims. The discipline is the diversification cap; sizing reflects intensity of cross-manager accumulation.

Sector breakdown

Sector-count cap (max 8 positions per sector ≈ 27% by count) forces baseline diversification. Bars below show aggregate weight per sector under the conviction-weighted sizing — actual share varies by the ConvictionScore intensity of each sector's positions.

Why these specific rules

Why positive ConvictionScore (no arbitrary floors)

ConvictionScore already aggregates 9 time-decayed quarters of 13F data across 6 signal layers — smart-money consensus, contrarian flow, insider cross-check, trend streak, sector context, and prior-score persistence. That composite is the gate. Layering an extra “≥+20 score” or “≥2 buyers” floor on top would double-count what the score already encodes and discard real signal. The universe is every ticker with score ≥ +1 (net-accumulation positive). Currently 30 candidates pass before the sector cap.

Why 8-per-sector count cap

Without a cap, the composite would historically pile into whichever sector the smartest investors are most concentrated in (often technology). Capping by count (≤8 positions per sector ≈ 27% by count) forces baseline diversification independent of how heavy any individual position is. Count-based is simpler and more transparent than a weight-based cap — you can see at a glance how many positions a sector holds; the weight then varies by ConvictionScore intensity.

Why conviction-weighted (not equal-weight)

Methodology v1 used flat equal-weight (1/30 ≈ 3.33% each). v2 (live since 2026-05-19) uses ALL available signal: a position's slot scales with its ConvictionScore (slot = score ÷ sum-of-selected-scores × 100). Higher conviction = larger weight. The score already encodes the multi-quarter, multi-signal evidence — equal-weight would discard that information. Top position currently 10.31%, bottom 0.26%. Sizing reflects intensity of cross-manager accumulation, not a uniform rule.

Why quarterly (not daily/hourly) rebalance

13F filings only emit every 90 days (SEC filing deadline = 45 days after quarter end). Daily/hourly rebalancing would be theater — no new data is available between quarters. Real-time rebalancing also requires registered investment-advisor (RIA) credentials, which HoldLens does not hold. The cadence is determined by the SEC's 13F rules, not by us.

What this composite is NOT

Not an “optimal portfolio.” Not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Not a backtested-and-validated index. Not a registered investment product. Not real-time. ConvictionScore correlation with forward returns is r = −0.12 across 221 ticker-quarter pairs — no predictive signal. The composite is a positioning tracker: what tracked managers already did, aggregated and described. Anyone considering acting on it should consult a licensed financial advisor first.

Not investment advice. The Conviction is a descriptive aggregate of public SEC 13F filings — what tracked managers already did, not what they will do, not what you should do. Position sizing is conviction-weighted (slot ∝ ConvictionScore); sector-count cap is the only risk discipline applied. 45-day filing lag applies to all underlying data. HoldLens holds no licensed-advisor credentials. Consult a licensed financial advisor before acting on any of this. See methodology + disclaimer.
