In my last update I promised to review my portfolio this week. If you recall at the start of the year my portfolio was almost back to profit as shown in the chart below (click to enlarge):
But as you know stock markets have had their worst start to a year ever! So many of you are wondering how my portfolio is doing. Well the table below gives you the total return since I launched my portfolio back in March 2015.

That means that my portfolio is outperforming even more after the market slump!
