2023 Review

It's been a relatively active year for me, buying more Aviva preference shares and making new investments in Sylvania Platinum and Vesuvius.

Performance has been OK considering the lack of tech shares:

  • 9% in GBP (vs 7% for the FTSE 100 including dividends)
  • 15% in USD (vs 25% for the S&P 500, I think that doesn't include dividends)
  • 19% in NOK (vs 9% for OSEBX, probably not including dividends)

Star performer was TAG Immobilien, up over 100% (after falling 50% in 2022 - so I'm still barely in profit overall).  Berkshire Hathaway, iShares Emerging Markets Dividends ETF and Aviva preference shares (my 3 largest holdings) all returned around 10%.  Ferrexpo (my smallest holding) was a disaster, down 43%.
