Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on RACE alone. It places RACE (Ferrari N.V.) against 17 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where RACE stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: RACE's full trading record, from October 2015 through September 2026. The crash tests reach back to 2000 using older funds and the S&P 500. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **Right now:** The slide is RACE's own: it is 21.8% below its high, against 1.3% for the S&P 500. Not every peer went the same way. Over the past 3 months, HMC (Honda Motor) rose 21.6% and F (Ford Motor) fell 12.2%.
- **Stock or market?:** More than an industry move: RACE rose 7.7% over the past 3 months, against 1.0% for the consumer discretionary sector ETF XLY (State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF). The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. Its automobile peers did not move as one over the past 3 months: HMC (Honda Motor) rose 21.6%, while F (Ford Motor) fell 12.2%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** The long record (ahead of 92% of the stocks worth at least $300 million over 10 years) has not carried into the past 3 years (behind 58% of them). Over the past year, RACE rose 1.6% against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100. The same gap shows up over 3 years (36.1% against 89.3%).
- **Long term:** RACE turned $10,000 into $81,100 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. RACE's 10-year return of 711% puts it ahead of 92% of the stocks worth at least $300 million with that much history. The S&P 500 returned 321%.
- **In a crash:** In the 2022 bear market, RACE held up better than TSLA (Tesla), GM and F; only HMC (Honda Motor) and VFS fell less. Even so, RACE fell further than the S&P 500 in two of the last three sell-offs, including the late-2018 sell-off (31.8% against 19.3%).
- **Diversification:** Against the S&P 500, RACE has a correlation of 0.48 over 5 years, more closely than 69% of stocks worth at least $300 million. Next to an index fund it is some diversification, but not a hedge. Over 10 years, RACE's beta versus the S&P 500 was 0.92: in the S&P 500's rising months it gained 1.0 times as much as the index, and in falling months it lost 56% as much.
- **Better options**
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** NEU (NewMarket, specialty chemicals) earned more than RACE with less volatility over the past 5 years: 21.0% a year at 26.8% volatility, against 13.3% a year at 30.0%.
  - **Whole market:** 185 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than RACE with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them AAPL (Apple), WMT (Walmart) and JPM (JPMorgan Chase & Co.).

## How much would $10,000 in RACE have grown?

- $10,000 invested in RACE at the end of September 2016 would have grown to $81,004 by September 2026, more than the $41,286 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of RACE, and TSLA finished highest, at $260,889.

### What diversifies RACE?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in RACE into XLE would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 18% over the past 5 years and raised its annual return (+14.3% for RACE alone, +17.4% for the mix).
- FIX made money in three of the three calendar years in which RACE lost money.
- Among large ETFs, LVHI, DXJ and EMLP have moved largely independently of RACE over the past 5 years, with correlations of 0.38 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.

## Common questions

### What was RACE's worst drawdown?

RACE's deepest decline since it began trading in 2015 was 43.6%, from October 2015 to February 2016. It took ten months from the low to climb back to its old high. Because RACE launched in October 2015, that record does not include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs.

### What were RACE's best and worst years?

### Is RACE more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. RACE's volatility over the past 5 years was 30.0%, 1.8 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, RACE's return lands within 30.0% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

RACE's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.57, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so RACE earned less for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
