*Investments in publicly traded companies are selected and managed by SMH.  They represent equity investments owned by SMH or it's management.

 

Note: Returns exclude dividends and commissions.  Returns are generally compound (geometric) returns.   Investments purchased less than a year show actual performance rather than average.  For these investments, the average effectively uses the performance from a few months to project over the whole year and distorts how SMH reviews the performance of these investments.
