This week at Sinclair Range, we break down how to properly evaluate investment performance, why benchmarks and mandates matter more than headline returns, and why private credit generates better returns than real estate.

• How to Judge Investment Performance Properly

Why two portfolios with similar returns can be judged very differently depending on mandate, risk, and benchmarks.

• Benchmarks, Risk, and the AI Bubble

Why today’s equity benchmarks are distorted by a handful of AI-driven stocks, how diversification hurts returns in bubbles, and what happens when those bubbles burst.

• Knowledge Arbitrage in Investing

Why true outperformance comes from information and experience, not risk, and how private credit rewards those who understand complex situations.

• Passive Income vs Real Returns

Why real estate fund marketing often obscures true performance, how fees and structure compress returns, and why institutional capital is flooding into private credit.

• Lesson Learned: Power in Distribution

Why having a better product isn’t enough, how margin follows power in the value chain, and why most businesses lose to distribution - unless they go direct-to-consumer.

• Struggle of the Week

Why investors sometimes make losses worse by trying to “work with” borrowers and when you must shift from solution provider to enforcement mindset.
