Who is Jim Cramer?

In today's article, we analyze the performance of a host whose name has become almost synonymous with finance television throughout the years, and bring to you our new trading strategy. By leveraging the collected data, we present to you our report on one of the investing world's greatest legends, the CNBC's Mad Money host himself, Jim Cramer.

Will Cramer's stock picks reflect the consensus view?

For comparison, the benchmark S&P 500 index is currently down 12.92 percent so far this year. This means that the ETF is beating the broader market by 6.97 percent. Nonetheless, any investor hoping to cash in on Cramer’s propensity to reflect the consensus view in his stock picks faces substantial real-world challenges.

How well do Cramer's ETFs perform?

A few studies have attempted to track Cramer’s performance. The Wharton School in 2018 found his Action Alerts PLUS portfolio returned 4% annually vs. 7% for the S&P 500 Index over a 17-year period. Most active managers underperform the benchmark over the long term, yet Cramer’s picks were still up, creating a dilemma for an ETF designer.
