Update #43 Q3 2025

Managed to pay in our full his 'n' hers ISA contributions for 2025/2026. Bought some VWRP and some VGOV, in proportions enough to maintain the a 60:40 balance of stocks and not-stocks.

>> VWRP: £281K, Cash: £151K, VGOV: £60K, Other stuff: £52K. Total: £544K on October 3rd.

Past the half-million mark! Who would have thought it. The portfolio has roughly doubled in the last 2 years.

About a third of the gain is due to the introduction of new funds. A third is due to the strong performance of world stock markets. And a third of it is due to risky, extra-curricular bets on this and that.

Below are a series of updates and edits. I don't normally add to these posts, but this quarter have been dabbling a bit and wanted to keep a record.

9th October: Sold some "this and that". Specifically, quantum computing stocks. Which had risen spectacularly, especially in the last month. Bought VWRP (V=vanilla).

30th Oct, sell 1112 units VWRP for £142,652
7th Nov, buy 1146 units for £142,688.

10th Nov, sell 1146 units for £145,542
14th Nov, buy 1154 units for £145,424

14th Nov, sell 1154 units for £146,461
17th Nov, buy 1162 units for £146,497

28th Nov, sell 1162 units for £147,596
4th Dec, buy 1172 units for £147,604

5th Dec, sell 1172 units for £148,904
8th Dec, buy 1177 units for £148,829

... and this will probably end in tears won't it? Currently sitting at 63% equities & I'm going to stop playing this game for a bit until I have figured out the rules and what could go wrong. 

Cheers,
