Top performer up 37% with a major adjustment to come as SUM is falling out of bed, by comparison with previous years shows just how tough the market has been this year.
I'm running 10th and am a little disappointed with my real and for that matter this theoretical portfolio performance this year...maybe I should have had more realistic expectations after such a stellar run last year...
Not threatening the leaders, but pretty happy with my 74th place. I run a deep value strategy which I expect will underperform the market in any year the rampant bull takes charge. I am up 12.5% with 3/4 of the year gone. By any definition this is a bull year. Yet the NZX50 is 'only' up 11.3%. So I am up 1.2% on the index when I expected to be at least that far behind. So couldn't be happier.
So why do I run a strategy that I expect will underperform the market? Because when the bear takes over this kind of strategy should outperform the market in a way that more than makes up for any underperformance in bull years. At the start of any year I have no idea whether it will be a 'bull year' or a 'bear year'. If you run a deep value strategy you don't have to know that!

preparing end-October reports now, will be online soon...
Well, its been an "interesting" month. I would like to personally thank the NZX for stopping the feed of their SmartShares products to Yahoo Finance, thereby requiring a manual update. For Nov/Dec updates, I'll only show the end points, frankly to make my life easier :-). The recovery of PLX during the month has had a massive impact on those who picked it, leading to a significant change at the top. While general market chaos has impacted everyone else.

Happy picking all...
The time is probably close to think about next years picks - happy to keep on doing this, if people are happy, but understand if my updates are a bit slow for some.
Regardless though, I'll arrange a way to make it easier to submit picks and report results. More soon.
Your faithful pet, sylvester cat
