The popular investor and copy fund tracking for August shows meager returns for 2018, worst among crypto investors. The ranking formula, which used square roots had to be adjusted due to negative results, with six months losses exceeding 30% on some Popular Investors, who have diminished the investment of thousands of eToro copiers.
The ranking is based on a zero to one hundred percent value relative to the performance of the other investors and CopyFunds tracked. The aim of the “desirability ex crypto” formula is to highlight popular investors and funds with a balanced portfolio, preferably low risk and a continuity in increasing the return on equity.
Unfortunately the CopyFund SharpTraders and GainersQtr hide cryptocurrency investment and possible imbalances behind the eToro investors data. These two funds rank highly largely for their low risk score, reasonable 12 months performance and supposedly balanced portfolio.
