History
Go Nikeforos – Its your birthday!
It is two years to the day that the Nikeforos portfolio made it’s first investments. The portfolio was put together based on my philosophy of where the gaming industry was going and what its role was in the economy. I drew a line around the industry that was wider than most people would have drawn, hoping to catch all parts of the value chain and focus on larger trends rather than hot tickets.
The portfolio included some hardware makers, some developers, of course, but also distributors, IP originators (film industry), key suppliers (chip makers), and would keep an eye on e-sports and gaming accessories. While not directly investing in Amazon, Google, Tencent and Apple, it kept an eye on the movements of these top predators in the gaming universe.
Two years later the result is an auditable ARR of 50.43%, a Sharpe ratio of 1.67. The portfolio outperforms the only gaming ETF in the world (ETFMG Video Game Tech ETF – US26924G7060) by 44% over these two years.
