Gold appears to be doing rather well.

Cloud_dog - I think that there's something up with Linton Growth on spreadsheet - number was 96663 or -3.34

Thanks

I imagine most of the positive results are more due to the pound's weakness than other investment returns. My portfolio in dollars is down 1.6%, but in GBP it's still hanging onto a 3.1% gain. Does anyone have a UK-centric portfolio? and if so how has that done?

I believe AT BB is all UK.

I guess there's plenty potential for pound to move either way in the coming months...

I've one IT that's now down over 20%. Though has moved to a 10% discount in the process. Need the fog to clear a little. As some share prices are fluctuating significantly within a single trading session. Arguably now is the time to be stock picking , not when the market was at the peaks.

My UK based investments, not looking good. The only saving grace at the moment is the pounds doing worse. Not a good start to 2019.

In December my best performing funds were India (the only positive), UK and Europe mid caps, even with the drop in the pound. Around -5%

A_T's British Bulldog Portfolio started 25% FTSE100 tracker, 25% FTSE250 tracker, 25% Marlborough UK Micro Cap Growth (active), 25% Gilt index tracker.

The big loser has been the FTSE250 tracker - down over 9%. The gilt index tracker has been the winner - up 2.5%.
