Damien’s alternative risk portfolios update – May 2022

It's been almost a year since I last reviewed the performance of the alternative risk versions of my £50k portfolio. A number of 80-20 Investor members recently asked whether I could update the performance for each portfolio. So I thought it an opportune time to review them both.

The higher and lower risk Damien's portfolios were launched back in April 2018. 80-20 Investor was designed to provide subscribers with research to empower them to make better investment decisions. The service is not prescriptive and a key aim when I originally conceived the idea for 80-20 Investor was that it would allow people to use it in a way that suited them. They could use it to help research funds in a particular sector or they could build a portfolio in accordance with their own views or risk appetite. For example, Subscriber A might want to take more risk than Subscriber B but they both could use 80-20 Investor to build portfolios that they felt would suit them

I deliberately created a product that was not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.
