My Portfolio: 5 month return

After 5 months My Portfolio is up 13.8% as compared to an 11.8% rise in the All Ords. Once again there is little to be gained from reading into the performance of long term investments over such a relatively short time frame.

Last month I made the comment that my portfolio had been remarkably less volatile than the broader market. Looking at the graph below it seems I opened my mouth too soon. Volatility is back in a big way and my portfolio has been no exception. With uncertainty surrounding global financial markets continued volatility should be expected in the near term.
