Wolff's Flagship Fund: what Peter Wolff runs in it, how it's built, and how to follow it

How Peter Wolff builds Wolff's Flagship Fund, including its defensive side, and how to follow it in your own brokerage account.

Chris Josephs7 min read

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Peter Wolff publishes several Portfolios on Autopilot, and this is the one called the Flagship.

What makes it worth a page of its own is one design choice most growth Portfolios skip. Let me explain.

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) What's in it, by design

Wolff's Flagship Fund is created and managed by Peter Wolff, an independent Pilot.

The description lays out two parts. The core is a focused set of high-growth, high-quality stocks in sectors it calls leading, naming AI and healthcare. Next to that sits a smaller sleeve for higher-risk, speculative companies.

That's a growth Portfolio with a speculative corner. So far, normal.

2) The part that isn't normal

Here's the design choice. The description says the Flagship holds a defensive side on purpose: defensive stocks, short-term Treasuries, and value-focused picks.

For those unaware, most growth Portfolios are all gas. This one keeps some brakes in the car. The stated reason is to limit losses in downturns while still going after growth.

That's a trade-off, and it cuts both ways. Brakes cost you something in a straight-up market. They're supposed to earn it back in a bad one. Whether they do is something only the record can tell you.

3) An aim isn't a result

I want to be honest with you. Limiting losses in downturns is an aim. An aim isn't a result, and nobody can promise you the result, including Peter. Some Portfolios go up for years. Some are flat for years.

What I respect is that Peter tells you how the Portfolio is built. You can hold Peter to the design.

4) How it differs from Peter's other Portfolios

Peter runs a family of Portfolios, and the differences between them are deliberate. Peter's Top 15 Fund drops the defensive side entirely and goes heavy on equities, which its own description says means sharper declines in downturns. That comparison is in Wolff's Top 15 Fund.

The rest of Peter's lineup, including the AI, crypto, and healthcare Portfolios, is on Peter Wolff's Portfolios.

5) What to check before you follow

Read the full description in the app. Look at the worst stretch in the record, not the best one. Check how often it changes, because turnover costs money and creates taxable events in a regular account.

And ask yourself which version of Peter you want. The one with brakes, or the one without.

6) 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 Flagship is Peter Wolff's growth Portfolio with a defensive side built in: defensive stocks, short-term Treasuries, and value picks, plus a small speculative sleeve. The defensive side is meant to limit losses in downturns. That's an aim, not a promise. Compare it with Peter's Top 15 before you choose.

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.
