80-20 Investor review – Outperforming 98% of fund managers

Below is an unedited email from an existing 80-20 Investor member (I've only added headings for ease of reading). It provides some great insight into how members are successfully using 80-20 Investor to run their own money and outperform the market, fund managers and me!

Yet it also raises an interesting question regarding benchmarking which affects all DIY investors. I have been given permission to share the email with you. My response can be found below the email.

Dear Damien,

I hope you are well.

First of all I just wanted to say that I am enjoying 80-20 Investor and your excellent research pieces although I don't always find the time to read them all (my fault, not yours).

My reason for getting in touch is to share my experience of 80-20 Investor, as you have often asked for feedback.
