I've had the same effect: a few breakout companies have repeatedly unbalanced my portfolio that is otherwise index funds over the past 30 years. It's unclear whether I'm smart or just lucky; it's probably 10%/90%.
They do claim a significant win over S&P in back-casting, though I find it odd that their test cuts off in 2018.
The returns I've gotten investing in disruptive innovation, just since March, have yielded many times the returns of the S&P 500.
