    TBC - would it not be easier to show the returns of the individual portfolios through an online excel sheet where you simply share with us the link - it would also help you with formatting?

    Sounds great, if you are happy to do the spade work I'll post the link in the original post.

    Is there any reason not to use the pm price for gold on the 28th Sep £912.52 ?
    I'd say yes. The reason being that the gold market can change quite dramatically, and in short order. A simple arithmetic mean between am, and pm fix smooths that out, and gives a more balanced picture.

    It is your thread, so I'm happy to go with your decision..._

    I've been monitoring this here, as I am quite interested in the ongoing results.

    I created this because I was late to the party but wanted to monitor the OH SIPP account (hence the column 'cloud_dog OH SIPP'). It's not the greatest piece of s/sheet engineering in the world (e.g. have to insert a new line for each month) but served it's purpose. Happy for portfolio owners to enter their own data or if someone wants to take a copy of create their own.

    No changes to portfolio in the month.

    Hit hard with decline in emerging markets. Though gains elsewhere compensated.
