Under the influence of a series of potent outer-planet transits — including Uranus in Taurus and Neptune’s long glide through Pisces — the macroeconomic backdrop since 2016 has mirrored themes of structural change, volatility, and digital acceleration. These celestial movements have historically aligned with breakthroughs in technology, disruptions in legacy systems, and the revaluation of tangible assets. The Lunar Landing Portfolio is designed to harness these cyclical forces, selecting equities whose business models and momentum harmonize with the prevailing planetary rhythms. From January 2016 through August 2025, the portfolio has soared to a cumulative return of 1,403%, propelled by both terrestrial fundamentals and cosmic tailwinds. As Saturn now settles into Pisces and Pluto begins its slow ingress into Aquarius, we continue to monitor how these shifts shape capital flows, innovation surges, and risk appetite across the markets.
The Lunar Landing Portfolio is a carefully constructed ensemble of 15 high-conviction U.S. equities, selected for their intersection of secular growth potential, institutional quality, and technical strength. Structured with the aim of navigating macroeconomic cycles while capturing upside from innovation and infrastructure trends, this portfolio continues to demonstrate its durability and upside performance. From January 2016 through August 2025, the portfolio generated a remarkable 1,403% cumulative return, translating to a 32.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). With over 73% of monthly periods delivering positive returns and a low maximum drawdown of just under 21%, this result underscores the strength of the portfolio’s design: a disciplined, equal-weight approach to trend leadership.
