"The 60/40 'Balanced' portfolio is dead" - scrutinise this headline carefully. A well diversified, low cost portfolio has worked, and continues to work, extremely well for long-term investors. Markets work well! Doesn't look dead to me... #investing #balanced #portfolio #markets

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, and meeting some new ones, at #SUPERNOVA23 All I ask for is no train delays, and a working hotspot on a Cross Country train from Exeter. The latter is probably a pipe dreamโ€ฆ

You know perf is bad when you have to check the data thinking it's an error. Over c10 years this MA fund avg 60% equity content, OCF 1.5%, avg assets cยฃ30m (you do the maths), and delivered.... 0% return! I feel for the investors. Equities delivered 10% p.a. over the same time.

Keep your eye on the golden ball. How many reruns until we feel the ball is โ€˜skilfullyโ€™ above average? Short term (eg 3 or 5yr) performance provides no indication of active fund manager skill. Donโ€™t be fooled by the noise. App credit (itโ€™s free!): apps.apple.com/gb/app/galton-โ€ฆ
