Pure Benchmarks · Portfolio Benchmark Report
Is Your Public Portfolio Underperforming?
Public is a multi-asset social investing app spanning stocks, ETFs, crypto, and alternative assets, with community-driven signals.
Pure Benchmarks ranks real Public portfolios against thousands of other verified investor portfolios across nine standardized risk categories, from 100% equity to 90% fixed income. Every portfolio is recategorized daily from actual end-of-day holdings, and Community Nests shows exactly where your Public portfolio ranks against other real Public clients in the same risk category — built entirely from verified portfolio data, with no firm that manages money able to see any data point on the platform.
Why your Public portfolio can lag a pure index baseline
The behavior tax. Commission-free apps are funded by payment for order flow and engineered for engagement. Frequent activity and emotion-driven turnover can erode returns versus a simple, patient index baseline — a cost that never shows up as a line item.
What to review on a Public portfolio
- Check whether spreading across many asset types and social signals drifts from a diversified index baseline.
- Look at how the overall mix has tracked a simple index rather than individual bets.
