There's a slightly different methodology here, but one consistent with what you're looking for.

On one line, buy-and-hold the S&P 500. Re-invest all dividends. You are 100% in the market at all times.

On the other line, buy-and-hold all companies run by female CEOs, weighted by the number of companies. Rebalance your portfolio every time a company is added or removed. You are 100% in the market at all times.

I think that if you look at the IPython notebook that the Fortune article refers to you can find the details spelled out in code.

(FWIW, the calculations are done by a she, not a he! It's my colleague Karen.)

What link?

The method you mention is correct. It wasn't clear reading the article that was what she did.

I'm looking for the raw list of female CEOs, Tickers, and hire/fire dates. I'm also wondering if the results are different based on sector.
