At The 1% Syndicate, we believe transparency builds trust — and performance builds conviction. Our results are not hypothetical models or back-tested theories; they are real-world outcomes achieved through disciplined execution of the Barbell Approach. Every number we share reflects live market conditions, not cherry-picked moments of success. We stand behind our process because it consistently delivers results that outperform traditional benchmarks and rival professional hedge fund performance. Our portfolios have demonstrated elite-level growth through both bull and volatile market phases: SoFi Account: +111% over the past six months, and +83% over the past year Schwab Account: +60% over the past six months, and +138% over the past year These results include major down days and periods of uncertainty — proof that the Barbell Approach is built to endure, not just perform in ideal conditions. We measure success not only by how much we gain during rallies,
but by how little we lose when markets correct.
To maintain integrity and consistency, we publish our performance data monthly rather than daily or weekly. This ensures our reports reflect meaningful trends and strategic progress — not short-term market noise. Over the same period, the Nasdaq Composite Index gained approximately 20–22%, while The 1% Syndicate portfolios achieved four to six times that performance. On an annualized basis, these returns place us ahead of most top-tier hedge funds, many of which average 30–40% per year in bull markets. We measure everything against the best — not for ego, but to ensure that our strategies remain among the elite. Consistent outperformance against institutional benchmarks is the ultimate validation of both process and philosophy. The Barbell Approach is designed for performance with protection. Our defensive sleeve — built on gold, cash, and covered-call ETFs — acts as an anchor when volatility strikes. This allows us to preserve capital while maintaining the freedom to pursue asymmetric upside opportunities. Our simulations and live data show that during a 30% market correction, our defensive allocations could limit drawdowns to roughly 10–14%, while hedged portfolios could reduce potential declines even further. This resilience allows us to stay invested, avoid emotional mistakes, and compound from a position of strength when markets recover.
At The 1% Syndicate, we don’t chase headlines, hype, or “hot stock” predictions. Every move is strategic, data-backed, and part of a long-term plan. Our success comes not from guessing where the market will go next, but from preparing for every possible outcome. This consistency is what separates The 1% Syndicate from short-term trading groups or speculative communities. We’re not trying towin today’s race — we’re building generational freedom through structure, patience, and conviction. We believe investors deserve honesty and clarity. That’s why we provide monthly performance updates showing both our raw and withdrawal-adjusted returns. We believe in full accountability — when we win, we explain why. When we face drawdowns, we show how the system protects and recovers.
Transparency isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of trust. And trust is the cornerstone of everything we do. Proven results are not the product of luck or short-term timing. They are the natural outcome of discipline, preparation, and belief in a structured system that works in all markets. Our record speaks for itself — and more importantly, it demonstrates that with the right tools, mindset, and education, everyday investors can achieve performance once thought possible only for professionals.
