First action of the new year was sending 0.83 of an originally intended contribution to the account and buying Australian high yield. At this point I should note I’m well ahead of progress toward my 10 year target, based on a 7% pa return, so I’ll just say sent a contribution over. Currently I’m just […]
Month 42 and December on top of November was some turn around to cap off the year. I’ll take a 15.7% calendar year return any time. Initially I only added 0.66 of an original contribution at the start of the month, which went to global value. Later in the month I had 3x the value […]
A strong turnaround in November and month 41. Again sent the money to the account early. This month allocated to global small companies. It was a pretty easy decision as they’d been punished for the past two months straight. The chart was straight down, almost without breathing. On twitter I’d also came across some research […]
October was a rough month. Down 3.7%. Anyway first trading day of the month I allocated a 0.83 of an originally intended contribution to global value. It was also a distributions month, so when those hit the account in the second half of the month they were invested in global infrastructure. I don’t reinvest distributions […]
September 2023 done and dusted, being month 39. Still haven’t decided on the car, so 0.83 of the originally intended contribution, with 60% of it going to global value and 40% of it going to global infrastructure. Wasn’t a great month clearly and global infrastructure was royally kicked in the nuts, all of it in […]
Month 38 and contribution moves back to .66 of the initial contribution value this month, as noted last month was considering upgrading my car. Haven’t decided about that yet, but still putting the money aside as if I will. This month’s contribution was allocated to Australian high yield. Second trading day of the month, not […]
Three years and a month. Only 0.16 of a contribution this month because I had a tax bill to pay from last year. Unfortunately, it was a pretty good month and distributions came through, so with a meager contribution and distributions not appearing until after the 18th I didn’t get any money into the market […]
Three years down! Same old, same old for the month. Made the contribution early and moved on with life. The contribution was split in Australian REITs and Australian high yield. Performance for the month was obviously good, but we have reached something of a milestone here, three years of contributions and a visible 3 year […]
This one’s a bit late, but it’s month 35, and when they’re late it reminds you “oh that was a poor month, but I’ve long forgotten about it and it the scheme of things, it doesn’t matter.” According to my account I sent 1x contribution on the first day of the month and made the […]
Left this update a little longer than usual and can’t exactly remember how last month went. This might be a good thing, as I’m not spending too much time thinking about things! Logged into my account and the transaction history says I split the month’s contribution on the forth of April between global large and […]
