tickerseer Paper Indices

Paper index: tickerseer calculates this from its own weekly ratings. It is not a fund or an ETF, it cannot be bought, and we show its returns before trading costs. Every week shown so far was calculated after the fact, from the ratings we published at the time.

We build three portfolios each week from our published ratings: growth companies we rate buy, dividend payers we rate buy, and a short basket of companies we rate avoid. Each starts at 100 on August 3, 2026, the first week we recorded every published rating in our ledger. Each is measured against SPY and against an equal-weighted basket of every name the indices could hold that week, which means the core names with a published rating. From the October 5, 2026 rebalance, we leave stocks traded over the counter out of the indices and the basket.
