Outperform the S&P 500

Beat the S&P 500 with just 5 handpicked stocks each quarter and hold them for one year, following a strategy that has historically targeted around +22% average annual returns.

Benefit from compound interest

If you had invested $10,000 in Stockcircle stock picks 10 years ago, it would be worth about six times its value now, compared to just three times with the S&P 500.

The performance data shows backtested results based on buying all 5 stock picks each quarter and holding them for exactly one year before selling.

Note: The Stock Picks return calculation does not include dividends (due to limited historical data availability).
