Correction Losses

Whilst I'm about level this year (<1% down) I see that puerile ego massaging delusions are up about 20%.0

Currently I only invest in active funds in my S & S ISA account and it is 100 per cent in equities. In January at its height the total amount was up to approx £148,000 and after the correction it dropped around £11,000 to £137,000 so a drop of about 7.5 per cent. It is now back up to the original amount at its height.
I would be interested to know how people fared with global trackers or other passive funds (mainly those invested in 100 per cent equities) during this period of correction?
Not really sure how you can be at the same point you were in January. My "balanced" portfolio is down approx. 3% since then.0 -

They say every dog has its day. So far this year.
EDF up 15%
TESCO up 20%
SAINSBURY up 20%
OILB up 15%
The good news is that I held all those.
The bad news is that I sold all of them in January, after years of lacklustre performance... finally convinced of the benefits of a fully passive strategy.0 -
not a passive investment.
