The Pragmatic Portfolio is a concentrated stake in powerful businesses operating at the center of rapidly growing markets. Their growth becomes yours. Operating performance leads. Valuations follow.
The market knows these are better businesses — and prices them accordingly. The Pragmatic Portfolio carries a real premium to the index because it's earning it: growing six times faster on revenue and nearly five times faster on earnings than the average S&P 500 company. But even after that premium, on a growth-adjusted basis the Pragmatic Portfolio is meaningfully cheaper than owning the index. These businesses are winning in the real world. The stock prices will follow.
Lower is better. The market is pricing each unit of growth at $1.47 across the S&P 500. The Pragmatic Portfolio delivers that same unit of growth at $0.56 — nearly three times cheaper. That's the price of focus.

Advertising is one of the most concentrated economic activities on earth. You own the platforms taking share by proving ROI in real time — programmatic, connected TV, performance marketing.
