80-20 Investor Best of the Best Selection – December 2022 Update

Of the 30 funds in November’s BOTB, 18 funds have retained their place in December’s selection. The chart below shows the average performance of the BOTB during November (the green line) against a benchmark that is calculated using the respective sector averages for each fund in the BOTB and assuming the same asset mix (the blue line). You can see that the BOTB marginally underperformed its benchmark.

The chart also shows how the selection has fared against the average professionally managed fund from the Mixed Investment 20-60% Shares sector and the Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares sector. The former is typically more cautious than the BOTB given its lower equity exposure while the latter tends to be more adventurous. You can see that the BOTB lagged during the last two weeks of November when we saw the trends that have been driving investment markets throughout 2022 suddenly reverse.
