Pelosi’s portfolio returns
Tracking Pelosi’s portfolio yielded an average yearly return of 31%, Autopilot data showed. On the other hand, the portfolio’s value declined by 5% in the last year. The figure represents notably more than Warren Buffett’s 2023 portfolio returns, although still less than legendary investor Michael Burry.
Predictably, more than half of Pelosi’s portfolio is captured by the world’s most successful tech stocks.
To be more specific, the US representative allocated 33% of her portfolio to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), the largest company on the globe.
Further, other significant holdings include Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) at 23%, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) at 17%, Crowdstrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) at 8%, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) at 8%, and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) at 6%.
Pelosi also invested 5% of her portfolio into investment management firm AllianceBernstein (NYSE: AB) and 1% into Disney (NYSE: DIS).
Individual stock performance
The biggest position in the so-called ‘Pelosi tracker’ portfolio, AAPL, delivered a remarkable rebound this year after a challenging 2022. The tech giant’s shares gained more than 42% since Jan. 1, soaring from $125 to just below $178.
At the same time, MSFT saw a similar surge since the start of the year, climbing around 35%, while GOOGL surged over 45% over that period, capitalizing on the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) craze.
However, the key driver of Pelosi’s portfolio gains is the electric vehicle (EV) behemoth Tesla, whose stock value skyrocketed by a whopping 127% this year, from $108 to $254 per share.
Amazon also outperformed its tech rivals, jumping more than 61% year-to-date.
Pelosi’s smallest holdings, DIS and AB are also the ones with the most underwhelming performance, with the former climbing only 3% while the latter lost 15% since the start of the year.
