Inside the NAPS Portfolio: How a Simple Rules-Based Strategy Has Delivered Long-Term Outperformance

Every year since 2014, Stockopedia founder & CEO, Ed Croft, has applied the same small set of rules to build a Model Portfolio based on what really works in the stock market. No forecasts. No opinions. No constant monitoring.

In this live webinar, Ed will teach you the exact process behind the “NAPS”, and explain how it has returned more than 15% annualised over 11 years, with an exceptional 35% in 2025 alone.

This is not about finding one great share tip. It is about learning the three key concepts that drive results in portfolios.

What you will discover in this session

• How to identify stocks with a higher probability of market outperformance

  See how the NAPS process filters the market for shares that have the same traits as historic winners before the crowd notices them.

• How to manage risk and capture returns through portfolio construction

  Learn how the portfolio is constructed so that it’s robust irrespective of sector or the market environment.

• The rules that simplify good judgement at the hardest moments

  See how clear, pre-defined rules replace gut instinct, emotional attachment and guesswork.

• What shares and sectors actually drove 11 years of outperformance

  Walk through the recent and long term results and separate what really matters from noise.
