    VLS60 is up around 20%, VLS80 around 22% over the past 3 years as a comparison. To give some perspective. Still a positive return in this low interest era.

    Though I think the VLS numbers are a bit better in comparison to A_T British Bulldog when taken back to the same 29 Sept 17 starting point . I think the numbers above are 3 years exactly to end Dec and there was a bit of a gain in late 2017 after end Sept. VLS80 and VLS 60 numbers from end Sept 17 to end Dec 20 are below.

    Finellah 41.9%
    FinellahVLS80 27.0%
    Vanguard FTSE Global  All Cap 37.0%
    (VLS60 24.5%)

    An interesting month. I spent the festive period in hospital with a ruptured brain aneurysm.. Fortunately I appear to have most of my marbles back.


    Puts all of this 'fun' into perspective. Wishing you a full recovery.
