Shaz's Operators Fund on Autopilot

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Shaz picked stocks professionally, then went off to run a business. The Portfolio is built on what Shaz says that combination teaches you: where the dollars actually go inside a company.

Here's the Operators Fund.

One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.

1) Who Shaz is

Shaz is an independent Pilot who creates and manages the Operators Fund.

The description says Shaz was an institutional stock picker at a family office, spent about a decade investing, and is now co-founder of an industrial holding company. The point is that few people both run a real profit and loss and run a portfolio.

2) What the Operators Fund is

A Portfolio for people who study how businesses work. It combines what the description calls great businesses with stocks that are seeing positive inflections.

For those unaware, an inflection is a turning point, like margins starting to improve or growth starting to speed up. The idea is that the high-quality businesses give you broad market exposure, and the inflection stocks are where Shaz is looking for company-specific upside.

3) How much the description tells you

I want to be honest with you. It tells you the philosophy, not the rules. There's no stated number of holdings or rebalancing schedule.

So look at the holdings in the app before following, and judge whether the picks match the story.

4) Who it might suit

Somebody who likes the idea of an operator's eye on stock picking, and is comfortable following one person's judgment.

It's covered alongside other Pilots in Every Pilot on Autopilot, A to Z.

5) How following works

Pick the Portfolio, connect the brokerage you already use, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.

A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on for each Pilot you subscribe to. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.

TLDR: The Operators Fund, from Shaz, a former institutional stock picker turned business operator, pairs high-quality businesses with stocks at positive turning points. The description gives the philosophy, not the rules, so read the holdings first.

Autopilot does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. You should consult with qualified tax and legal professionals regarding your specific circumstances.

Autopilot does not hold client assets. All investments are held at the brokerage firm you select and connect to Autopilot. Your brokerage firm is responsible for trade execution, custody, and reporting. Autopilot is not responsible for your broker-dealer’s services, fees, or execution quality.

Autopilot’s services depend on technology systems, third-party APIs, and internet connectivity. System outages, API disruptions, or connectivity issues may temporarily affect service availability or trade execution timing.

Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.

For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.

Third-Party Pilot Portfolios are created and managed by independent third parties who are not affiliated with Autopilot, are not acting as your investment adviser, and owe you no fiduciary duty. Third-Party Pilots receive a share of the fees attributable to their Portfolios, which creates conflicts of interest for them and for Autopilot, and they may trade the same securities their Portfolios hold. Autopilot may convert a Third-Party Pilot Portfolio to an Autopilot Portfolio at any time.

Listing is not an endorsement of a Pilot or strategy. Fee amounts are quoted from Form CRS dated February 2026 and may change.
