Performance
We want to remind you each update, although we are updating you on our performance every two weeks, we do not get excited or upset about short-term fluctuations. Our focus remains on long-term value creation. Please remember this especially when looking at your own portfolio and making investment decisions.
Over the past two weeks, our portfolio has seen a small increase. The overall return in October is now -0.5%, up from the previous update of -1.3%. This brings our year-to-date return up to 14.9%.
Overall our annualised TWR now sits at 30.66%.
The primary drivers of this period’s performance were PayPal Holdings PYPL 0.00%↑ , which increased from 21.92% to 25.88%, and Nu Holdings NU 0.00%↑ , rising from 76.38% to 90.65%. RCI Hospitality Holdings RICK 0.00%↑ also reduced its losses, improving from -12.72% to -6.74%. Additionally, Nintendo (NTDOY) and BAE Systems (BA.L) saw minor gains, contributing to the portfolio's overall growth.
