Performance in calendar year 2021
The income portfolio to 30 July has returned 15.99% and the growth oriented portfolio has returned 13.83% (see tables at the end). Compared to the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index (which adds back income from dividends), the income portfolio has outperformed by 1.85% and the growth portfolio has underperformed by 0.31%.
