Here's an update on the portfolio's performance. If you have missed my portfolio review for 2021, please check it out here. 2022 Performance YTD My Portfolio: -25.31% Vanguard 500 Index: -20.02% Performance since inception (Jan 2021) My Portfolio: -24.22% Vanguard 500 Index: 2.78%
It's official.
It's the worst H1 for the US stock market in more than half a century. This came in as no surprise as the market continues to dive in the month of June. S&P 500 drops more than 8% in the month of June- putting the month of June almost on par with April. Aside from Dow Jones, the other two indexes (S&P 500 and NASDAQ) are in bear territory at the end of June.
With the exception of the energy sector, all the other sectors (utilities, healthcare, consumer discretionary etc) all report negative returns in H1.
I guess the constant theme we have all been hearing/seeing in 2022 is inflation....
