Closelook Records
The record catalogue.
Track records live scattered across platforms that never talk to each other — wikifolio, Darwinex, Collective2, CTA databases, fund NAVs, analyst archives. Closelook Records brings them onto one page and grades the one thing the leaderboards never show: how verifiable each record actually is. Every figure is dated and shown exactly as its source showed it; every grade says where the number comes from, not whether we like it.
This is the human side of a catalogue built for both webs — each entry also ships as structured JSON (/records/index.json) so agents can read the same record people do. The subjects listed here have not contributed to these pages. Coverage, not endorsement; a diary, not advice.
Platform traders
Records computed by the platform the trading happens on — wikifolio, Darwinex, Collective2. The strongest grades in the catalogue live here, and so does the clearest grade distinction: real fills versus modelled fills.
- A wikifolio since 25 Mar 2014 (~12.5y)
Christian Jagd — Intelligent Matrix Trend
Global multi-asset with US focus — stocks plus long/short ETFs
Performance since inception: +773.6% · Average p.a.: +18.7%
A twelve-year systematic trend record run from a self-built signal tool, with short ETFs used for risk management — the closest thing on the wikifolio platform to a published trading system with a verified live record.
- A wikifolio since 13 Jan 2017 (~9.8y)
Florian Riediger — TSI Strategie Nasdaq-Werte
US technology — Nasdaq small and mid caps
Performance since inception: +701.5% · Average p.a.: +23.7%
Nearly a decade of momentum trading in Nasdaq small and mid caps — a platform-verified record whose current numbers show exactly what the strategy costs in a chip bear market: a −20% trailing year at 73% volatility.
- A Darwinex investable since 25 Feb 2019 (~7.7y)
pepewin — DARWIN OOS
Forex, index and commodity CFDs
Return since inception: +42.37% (gross) · Annualised return: +4.51% (gross)
A modest-return, long-duration systematic record that the platform itself has repeatedly funded through its DarwinIA allocation programme — proof that verified consistency attracts capital even without headline numbers.
- A wikifolio since 16 Sep 2012 (~14y)
Richard Dobetsberger — UMBRELLA
Global equities — pharma and new tech, US-heavy, 6–12 positions
Performance since inception: +3,064.8% · Average p.a.: +27.7%
The flagship of the wikifolio platform: fourteen years of platform-recorded trading, a triple-digit-million certificate, and a record currently deep in a one-year drawdown — which is exactly what a verified record is for: it shows both sides.
- A Darwinex investable since 19 Feb 2018 (~8.7y)
Sersan Sistemas — DARWIN SYO
Forex, index and commodity CFDs
Annualised return: +15.15% (gross, before 1.2%/20% fees) · 10-year return: +309.71% (gross)
A systematic FX/CFD programme with nearly nine investable years on a regulated platform, $13.6M of third-party capital and a mid-teens gross annualised return — the kind of unglamorous, verified consistency leaderboards rarely rank first.
- A wikifolio since 30 Dec 2014 (~12y)
Simon Weishar — Szew Grundinvestment
German and European equities only — no ETFs, no leverage
Performance since inception: +1,260.7% · Average p.a.: +24.7%
Twelve years of German-and-European-only stock picking with a steady platform-verified record — a value discipline rare in the certificate world, where most long records lean on US tech beta.
- A- Darwinex investable since 21 Jan 2017; the page header counts a 12-year track including imported pre-listing history
finbou — DARWIN THA
Forex, indices and commodity CFDs
Return (12 years, as stated): +834.21% (gross) · Annualised return: +20.47% (gross)
One of Darwinex's two flagship long records: a high-frequency systematic programme with over $10M allocated and a 30% win rate that works — because the average winner is built to outweigh the average loser.
- B Collective2 since Sep 2020 (74 months)
ares_Systemtrading — "ares"
Micro Nasdaq (MNQ) futures, long and short
Annual return (hypothetical fills): +32.4% · Max drawdown: 14.1% (Oct–Nov 2021)
The best risk/return profile we found on the Collective2 leaderboard: six years of timestamped Nasdaq-futures signals with a 14% maximum drawdown against a 32% hypothetical annual return — and clean risk rules stated up front.
- B Collective2 since Nov 2020 (72 months)
Easy Value Team — "Easy Value"
US stocks
Annual return (incl. costs): +22.3% · Max drawdown: 31.8% (Mar–Sep 2022)
Six years of timestamped value investing in US stocks — the current Collective2 leaderboard leader, with a 2022 drawdown of 31.8% sitting honestly in the middle of the record.
CTAs — managed futures
Regulated managed-futures programmes with decades of client money. The regulatory wrapper is strong; the public data layer is manager-reported — which is exactly what the grade says.
- B IASG (NFA-regulated CTA) client funds since May 1997 (~29y)
Drury Capital — Diversified Trend-Following
Metals, agriculture, FX, stock indices, energy and financial futures
YTD 2026: +23.18% · Terms: $5,000,000 minimum · 2% management / 20% performance
Twenty-nine years of client money in a classic diversified trend programme, running +23% in 2026 — a professional-tier record with an institutional minimum to match.
- B IASG (NFA-regulated CTA) inception 1 Nov 1984 (~42y) — firm founded 1974
DUNN Capital — World Monetary & Agriculture (WMA)
Financial, energy, metal and agricultural futures
YTD 2026: +18.40% · Terms: $100,000 minimum · 0% management / 25% performance
One of the longest live systematic records in existence: forty-two years of trend following under NFA regulation, with the rare 0/25 fee structure that only a manager confident in the long run offers.
Managers & funds
Regulated fund vehicles with daily NAV — the most verifiable record format there is, and the best case study in how the chosen window changes the story.
- A wikifolio since 20 Feb 2023 (~3.7y)
Christoph Gum — Alpha AI Leaders
Global AI megatrend equities — 10–20 names, US focus
Performance since inception: +186.6% · Average p.a.: +33.1%
An AI-model-driven AI-stock portfolio with institutional backing and €18M invested — verified since early 2023, which means the record covers one great AI year and the current repricing, but not yet a full cycle.
- A- ARK Funds (SEC-regulated ETF issuer) ARKK inception 31 Oct 2014 (~12y)
ARK Invest — Cathie Wood
Disruptive-innovation equities — ARKK flagship plus thematic sister ETFs
Record format: Daily NAV, SEC-regulated ETF, all trades disclosed next day · Signature year: ARKK +152.5% in 2020
The most transparent large active record in the catalogue — a regulated ETF with daily NAV and next-day trade disclosure — and the clearest case study in how the same record tells opposite stories depending on the window you cut.
Analysts & strategists
Public, datable calls without a computed track record. We grade the format honestly — and score the headline calls one by one in the Famous Calls Record.
- C Wedbush Securities (sell-side research & media calls) covering technology on the sell side since the 1990s; at Wedbush since 2018
Dan Ives — Wedbush Securities
US technology — Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Palantir, the AI complex
Record format: Dated public price targets + rating changes; aggregator-tracked, no composite record · Signature position: Most prominent Tesla and AI-complex bull in US financial media
The loudest tech bull on the sell side. Every target is public and datable — and like all analyst records, the sum of them is unscored. The Famous Calls Record takes them one at a time.
- C Fundstrat Global Advisors (public research & media calls) Fundstrat founded 2014; JPMorgan chief equity strategist before that
Tom Lee — Fundstrat / FSInsight
US equities — S&P 500 index targets, plus bitcoin and thematic calls
Record format: Dated public index targets + media appearances; no composite track record · Reputation base: Among the most bullish — and most often right — S&P strategists of the 2023–2025 bull run
The best-known bull of the post-2022 cycle. His S&P targets are public and datable — which makes them gradable call by call, even though no composite track record exists.
