About The Dystopia Fund

There's an uncomfortable truth embedded in modern capitalism: human suffering is extraordinarily profitable.

The Dystopia Fund exists as both commentary and experiment: if these patterns are real, they should produce measurable alpha. If profiting from social dysfunction is genuinely lucrative, then a portfolio explicitly designed around that thesis should outperform—and that outperformance itself becomes evidence of how deeply inverted our incentive structures have become.

The Thesis

When civil unrest erupts, surveillance companies see their stock prices surge. When immigration becomes a crisis, private detention centers expand their contracts. When economic anxiety spreads, predatory lenders multiply their revenues.

Performance

5-Year Backtest (October 2020 - September 2025):

• Dystopia 50 Portfolio: +227.2%
• S&P 500 Benchmark: ~89%
• Outperformance: +138.2 percentage points

The portfolio didn't just beat the market—it more than doubled the market's returns. This wasn't achieved through conventional growth investing or value plays. It was achieved by identifying companies whose business models explicitly benefit from societal breakdown.

Philosophy: If capitalism makes misery profitable, we might as well be honest about it.
