Have you ever wondered how your investments compare with those of other investors?
With TipRanks’ Top Individual Investors tool you can see exactly how some of our best performing users are investing. You can view the top 100 portfolios, out of over 170,000, get detailed insights into each one, and follow the investors with strategies that match your own.
In fact, you can access far more data about our individual investors than you can about the experts we analyze, making this tool particularly valuable. Here’s how it works.
Top Investors Overview
Go to the Top Individual Investors tool, the first thing you will see is an overview of the top performers. Individual investors are measured and ranked using the same criteria as financial experts including success rate, average returns and number of holdings.
Anyone that appears on the list:
1. Is using our Smart Portfolio tool
2. Has agreed to make their portfolio public (feel free to ask us how)
3. Has been active in the past six months

You can adjust the table to list form. This way you can view more investors and see the data set out differently, as well as filter columns.

Get to Know Top Individual Investors in Depth
You can see an in-depth overview of each investor’s portfolio. You can dive into an unlimited number of portfolios and choose which investors you wish to follow.
Let’s look at one of our top investor’s portfolios.
Performance
At a glance, you can view their success rate, that is what percentage of their transactions are profitable, their average return per transaction, their returns over the past 12 months, as well as year to date returns.

Next, you see a monthly breakdown of the portfolio over the past 12 months and how it compares to the average TipRanks portfolio, the best performing TipRanks portfolios, and the S&P 500.
