Water Portfolio Update π (May 15, 2026)
Fresh picks are now live for the next 30-day cycle.
Markets continued pushing higher this period, led by large-cap U.S. equities, semiconductors, and AI infrastructure names. Breadth improved overall, though performance remained strongest in a relatively narrow group of mega-cap leaders.
The Water models remained constructive on momentum and cyclical growth exposure, though the more concentrated and selective structure lagged the broader index rally this cycle.

A highly selective, rules-based process designed to identify the strongest opportunities across changing market environments.
How the Water portfolios are built:
Water uses only the highest-performing strategies from a ~100 model universe.
Unlike Sun, there is no averaging:
β’ Stocks either pass or fail each strategy
β’ Each pass earns a score
β’ Scores are added together
π Water 1 β Highest-scoring stocks (strict threshold)
π Water Portfolio β All stocks above the core threshold
Because of this structure, portfolio size changes each month depending on how many names qualify.
