Record notes

Autopilot client composite since launch means the time-weighted return of actual Autopilot client accounts that follow this Portfolio, measured only from the date the strategy launched on Autopilot. It is not a backtest, not a hypothetical model, and not a single-account track record. When at least 10 clients follow the strategy, the composite is the 10 oldest follower accounts, equal-weighted. If fewer than 10 clients are invested, the data represents all clients following this strategy.

All figures are as of 2026-08-17.

The performance data presented reflects the aggregated results of actual client portfolios managed by the Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), based on the trading activity in the securities contained in the relevant portfolio over the specified period. If fewer than 10 clients are invested in the portfolio, the data represents the aggregate performance of all clients following this strategy. Actual investor outcomes can vary due to factors like brokerage support for fractional shares, account size, trade timing, fees, and taxes, and past performance should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future results or typical of all portfolios.

Returns are shown net of Autopilot's Advisory Fee, calculated using a model fee. The exact model amount used for the net column is pending CCO confirmation of actual versus model fee. This content_version applies a working model of a $99.99 annual Base Advisory & Licensing Fee at a $10,000 allocation. That is a model used for calculation, not a confirmed actual fee and not an advertised price. This working model uses the lowest disclosed Base Advisory and Licensing Fee figure. Until CCO confirms the highest fee charged to the intended audience, published net may overstate results versus a higher actual fee. Gross returns, shown alongside, do not deduct that fee. Broker-dealer transaction costs, fund expenses, and taxes are not deducted from either figure. Because the Base Advisory & Licensing Fee is a fixed amount, smaller accounts experience a higher effective fee percentage than larger accounts.

Sharpe ratio, risk-free rate assumed 0%. Sortino uses the same zero risk-free-rate assumption.

This Portfolio is created and managed by Autopilot Advisers, LLC as part of our advisory services, which are general and impersonal in nature and are not personalized advice. Y Combinator does not manage this Portfolio and has no relationship with Autopilot or its clients. Autopilot retains the full platform fee attributable to Autopilot Portfolios, which creates a potential conflict because Autopilot may have an incentive to favor Autopilot Portfolios over Third-Party Pilot Portfolios. Autopilot may terminate this Portfolio at any time.

Official max drawdown is the published daily-series field. It is not read from the downsampled sparkline. Worst month and recovery are withheld when that curve does not reproduce the official drawdown.

1-year, 5-year, and 10-year at equal prominence. Missing long windows are labeled n/a with the Autopilot launch date. Since Autopilot inception fills the comparison. Gross and net use the same window. YTD, 1-month, and 3-month are supplemental.

No benchmark comparison is published for this Portfolio yet. Returns shown have no market reference point. A return figure on its own does not indicate whether the strategy performed well relative to available alternatives.

Autopilot's Advisory Fee includes a fixed Base Advisory & Licensing Fee, charged in advance on a quarterly or yearly cycle. At the top subscription tier the Advisory Fee also includes an asset-based AUM Fee applied only to assets above the threshold the base fee covers. Below the top tier that AUM Fee is not charged. The current AUM Fee percentage is pending confirmation against the live Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS, so this page does not state a percentage. Basic Tier clients are not charged an Advisory Fee. Your tier is based on your invested assets, not on how many Pilots you follow, and every paid tier includes access to all Pilots. Broker-dealer transaction fees, wire fees, margin costs, and fund expense ratios are charged by your broker-dealer and apply on top of any Autopilot fee. Specific fees are set out in your Investment Advisory Agreement. See the complete fee schedule in our Form ADV Part 2A.

When at least 10 clients follow the strategy: time-weighted return composite of the 10 oldest follower accounts, equal-weighted across accounts. If fewer than 10 clients are invested, the aggregate of all clients following the strategy is used. Money-weighted returns are rejected. This is not a single-account track record and not a backtest.

Accounts in composite: 10. The 10-oldest-follower cohort selects accounts that did not churn; n=10 is a small-sample estimator with real noise. Per-follower breakdown is not exposed.

Rebalance: not disclosed. Rebalance cadence is not independently structured.

Important disclosures

Material risks

Investing in this strategy can result in loss of principal. Returns are volatile and drawdowns can be larger than the published maximum. Holdings may be concentrated in a small number of names or sectors. Liquidity, turnover, taxes, and trade timing can cause an individual account to differ from the published composite. Creator dependence and disclosure or reporting lag apply to Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity. The composite uses a small sample (n=10 when at least 10 clients follow; all clients when fewer). Options, margin, or leverage, if present in underlying holdings, increase risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

1Y +20.8%; since incep. (2025-04-17) +57.5%. Net of fees; representative client-account sample (all accounts if <10 clients). This strategy is created and managed by Autopilot Advisers, LLC as general and impersonal advisory services, not personalized advice. Not a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results; investing involves risk of loss.

This site publishes performance data about Portfolios available on Autopilot. It does not rank, recommend, or select Portfolios for any person, and it does not assess whether any Portfolio is suitable for you. Suitability is assessed only inside the Autopilot app, based on your Client Questionnaire responses.

This information is provided by Autopilot for educational and illustrative purposes only and is not a recommendation, an offer to sell or the solicitation to buy any security. Autopilot relies on information from various sources believed to be reliable, including information from Clients, Pilots and other third parties, but cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of that information. Autopilot does not provide tax or legal advice and you are encouraged to consult with professionals before making investment decisions.

Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you've selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot's control.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon before investing through Autopilot.

Autopilot receives compensation from Public.com when clients referred by Autopilot open and fund accounts. Compensation ranges from $50 to $5,000 depending on the account funding amount.
