*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.
