Portfolio Review as of 22 Aug 21. Surviving the China Stock Crash
I am both relieved and humbled that my model portfolio has continued to outperform S&P500. It is up 20.11% from 23 March 2021. Against 16.14% for S&P500, Vanguard World Stocks with 10.51% and Hong Kong Tracker -10.27%.

Portfolio review for 3 Aug 2021

The key thing in beating the benchmark is to underweight China at the right time, and overweight at the right time, also to focus on sectors that will outperform. Stock picking plays a huge part and I focus exclusively on investing in stocks with a) a wide moat, b) stable or rising mar
