Commentary
This month we have two Dynamic Portfolios up for review, Bonkers 6-Months and Dynamic Asia & EM Portfolio.
Bonkers had a tricky 6 months in Liontrust Global Technology, down 5% for the period. No surprise given market skepticism creeping in around the practical applications of AI and the fact the Liontrust fund has 15% in Nvidia and TSMC.
But the long-term performance of this Bonkers portfolio is staggering, up over 19,000% since September 1995 which is more than 17x the World index.
Looking ahead, a Gold fund will take over for the next six months..
It’s been a stronger period for Dynamic Asia & EM, up nearly 9% vs the index up 4.6%. This has largely been driven by the two India funds and the next period sees all three spots taken by India.
Like Bonkers, the long-term performance of this portfolio is exceptional, returning over 7,500% since inception which is over 19x the index.

*A measure of the size and frequency of short-term changes in the value of an investment.
**Monthly Value at Risk (VaR). A VaR of 6% means that in 19 months out of 20 you should not, on average, expect a fall in the capital value of more than 6% in any one month. The VaR of a typical UK stock market fund is 6%, for reference.
