What AI Shows About Buffett’s Investing Edge & ARKK’s True Performance
In this video, we’re diving deep into Warren Buffett’s legendary investing track record, but this time, we’re using AI to uncover what’s really driving his success.
We’ve talked about Buffett’s long-term performance before, but lifetime averages can hide some important details. So, we’re breaking down Berkshire Hathaway’s history into rolling time frames to get a better picture of when Buffett’s investing edge was strongest and when it started to fade.
Using AI, we run rolling regressions on monthly returns to track how Buffett’s alpha (his ability to beat the market), market exposure, and overall style have evolved. By looking at different time periods like the ‘90s tech boom and the years after, we get a clearer picture of how market conditions shaped his results. The big question: Is Buffett’s performance due to skill or is it just luck from market trends?
We’ll take you through each chart step by step, explaining everything in simple terms. You’ll see how Buffett’s edge was stronger in earlier years, why it’s harder to spot in short-term windows, and how his exposure changed as Berkshire Hathaway grew into a giant.
To show just how powerful this method can be, we also apply the same AI-driven analysis to ARKK, a popular ETF focused on innovation. Comparing the two gives us a better sense of whether performance is coming from a true manager’s skill or if it’s just market conditions at play.
