    For TBC15 a similar end of the month to last month up about 1 ½ % with Fundsmith ahead of the pack, Smithson in negative territory.

    Good month for Digger UK.

    An uneventful month overall when you look at the total. Both the Smiths had a good month up 3-5%. Tech had a bad month down about 5%.

    A good month, up are 4%. Over two thirds of the portfolio is in quality growth - Fundsmith, Smithson and Royal London Sustainable Leaders - all of which did well this month after a poor year in 2022.

    The rest which is mostly smaller companies were up around 1.5%
