RSIC Mechanical Portfolio Review
August 2004 - August 2005
· Added a further £6,000 to the portfolio during the year.
· An excellent performance, up over 50% and roughly doubling the FTSE 100 performance.
· Since inception, the portfolio is up 43.4% versus a 2.1% rise in the FTSE 100.
Objectives of the Strategy for the Mechanical Sub-portfolio are (not necessarily in priority order): -
a) To achieve an average annual rate of return on investment across the portfolio that beat the FTSE 100
Met – outperformed the FTSE 100 by 25.4% during the year.
b) To provide a reasonable level of “safety” so that the risks of significant losses within the portfolio are small
Met – with the dual criteria (‘value’ and ‘growth’) approach we have a reasonably well-diversified set of stocks that should also balance out short-term trends in popularity between the two.
c) To have a selection mechanism that is explicit, unambiguous, clearly understood and repeatable
Met - custom software program written to perform the analysis. Any club member is welcome to have a copy of the program and/or source code. Data is taken from Sharescope, a package used by many private investors.
d) To provide a means of regular (though not necessarily frequent) share trading so that the Club’s overall portfolio maintains interest
Met – transactions typically now take place every month.
None.
