Performance of our standard portfolios

Performance since the last insight (from Friday 30 June 2023 to Friday 4 August 2023)

Most portfolios saw good growth from the dip at the beginning of July to the end of July until concerns over global growth moderated returns at the beginning of August.

Performance over the last year (up to Friday 4 August)

Performance over the last year shows the sharp falls from August last year as inflation caused concern along with the ‘mini budget’ from Liz Truss.
