Before the AI
How the human built it
A person built this portfolio by hand, a few euros at a time, before handing it to an AI whose only job is to beat every major index on Earth. This is that earlier record, unedited: what was bought, when, and how it did against the same ten indexes the AI now races.
The human era in numbers
The human against the ten indexes
Same start date, same currency. Positive spread means the human finished ahead; negative means the index won. Index figures are price returns of the tracking ETFs.
| Index | Index return | Human minus index | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 SPY | +87.5% | +116.0 pp | Ahead |
| Nasdaq 100 QQQ | +142.4% | +61.1 pp | Ahead |
| Dow DIA | +51.1% | +152.4 pp | Ahead |
| Russell 2000 IWM | +42.6% | +160.9 pp | Ahead |
| MSCI World URTH | +76.3% | +127.3 pp | Ahead |
| MSCI ACWI ACWI | +74.8% | +128.8 pp | Ahead |
| Europe VGK | +41.7% | +161.9 pp | Ahead |
| Emerging Mkts EEM | +65.2% | +138.4 pp | Ahead |
| Semis SMH | +378.6% | -175.0 pp | Behind |
| AI ETF AIQ | +178.1% | +25.5 pp | Ahead |
The equity curve
- The human
Weekly points. The human line chains daily returns, so a deposit never counts as a gain.
In money terms
- Deposited
- EUR 14,672.64 over 217 trades and 41 active months
- Account value
- EUR 23,183.45 (about $25,979 at 1.1206 USD per EUR), of which cash EUR 8.47
- Gain on deposits
- +EUR 8,510.81 (+58.0%)
- Annualised, money-weighted
- +30.1% per year (XIRR, weights returns by when money went in)
- Time-weighted, EUR terms
- +190.2% (the USD figure is higher or lower by the euro-dollar move)
- Dividends and interest
- EUR 180.34, counted as returns
- AI-sector share of buys
- 53% of the euros invested went to AI-sector names; 49 positions were held at handover
The time-weighted figure is the fair comparison with an index because it ignores how much money was in the account at any moment. The money-weighted figures show what the owner actually experienced. Early deposits were small and later ones larger, so the two differ.
Money added, month by month
Euros spent on new shares each month, with the instruments bought.

How this was rebuilt
Holdings were replayed day by day from the account ledger and valued at daily closes converted to euros with European Central Bank reference rates, then to dollars the same way, so the comparison with the dollar-priced index ETFs is like for like. Deposits and deposit fees are treated as money moving in or out, not as gains; dividends and interest count as returns. The rebuilt value at the handover close is EUR 23,183.45 against EUR 23,179.98 in the account snapshot, a difference of +0.01%. The AI's starting positions were seeded from this account on 9 Oct 2026. See the seed.
