Commentary
There are two portfolios being updated this month, Bonkers 6-Months and Dynamic Asia & EM Portfolio. They both had a storming 6 months, Bonkers up 21.96% and Asia an even more impressive 25.25% of growth.
Starting with Bonkers, with the advance of AI having dominated the financial media in the last 6 months, it will be no surprise that the tech fund selection for the last 6 months has performed particularly strongly.
It is 6 monthly performances like this which have driven the long-term performance, the portfolio being up 19,800% since September 1995, which is more than 18x the World index.
For the 6 months ahead another tech fund is showing.
Turning to Dynamic Asia & EM, taken as a whole Asia has not been exciting for some time, with China being poor, and holding back much of the region. But India and Japan have shone through and the structure of this portfolio honed in on those opportunities, up more than 25% in the last 6 months.
Since launch in 1999 this portfolio is up a meaty 6,873%, which is also more than 18x the index.
