    A great month led by Chrysalis with a 28% boost after re-ratings of Starling and Klarna plus the upcoming IPO announcement of Wise. After that it was the old dog Fundsmith which is doing really well this year - up 6.5% in June and 13.5% YTD. Gresham House Microcap was the laggard after a recent good run - only 1.3% this month.

    Up 5.94% month to month. 

    Yet another impressive set of half year figures from Jarvis Investment Management together with a declared special dividend were the factors that produced this stellar return.

    Shame about the last few days.

    Fundsmith and Smithson doing well for the month.

    Tech showed promise but fell at the last hurdle.

    Modest rise for the month with most things up but UK Microcaps and EM both down slightly.
