Performance to 31 March 2016

I suppose I shouldn’t complain at a time when the majority of private investors and fund managers have lost money, but the share portfolio has been pretty boring recently – no shooting the lights out, just steady plodding on.

Oh well, I suppose it’s better than being down, but I hope for more movement in the coming months as some of my bets reach maturity.

Overall return: 16.5%

(Some of you have joined us recently so, in case you are not familiar with them, I briefly describe the criteria for my portfolios following the portfolio performance tables.)
