    Decent bounce, some of the global returns being absorbed by a 6% increase in the GBP/USD rate. UK smaller companies were the standout at +12%

    Bit of a flat month overall. 7th-13th showed great promise with a 7% hike from a -3% position unfortunately the rest of the month eroded most gains.

    The pound has strengthened against the dollar, but a bit of a market rally has compensated.

    Prism Global - £161,405

    A 4% rise over the month

    FEET paid out a 100% dividend as it went into liquidation but also kept back roughly 10% of its value for a second payment next year. It was running at around a 10% discount to NAV.

    Money was reinvested into Vanguards EM ETF (VFEM) and two existing holdings, all of which have crept up since purchase

    Chrysalis for once had a good month - up 12%

    Will update the portfolios thread

    down 17% this year - mostly due to crash in the value of gilts and UK small cap. FTSE 100 was green though
