LH Fund
LH Fund moves on with quite interesting “mood swings” in September. At the end of the month it closed with a Total Return of 3.74% (-0.43% vs August), TER is now 2.11% (-0.03% vs August) and YoC goes to 4.55% (+0.46% vs August).
YoC keep growing at a very good rate, supported by options trades too, this is what I am aiming at at the very specific moment. Total Return is a measure that I am not too worried about as I am not planning to disinvest any time soon, but it’s good to keep the metric there. TER is also paramount to my financial endeavours, I need to optimise taxes and costs as much as possible, my target is to hit 1% per annum, and so far we are on the right track (though I might see the real performance only at the end of 2017). So far, so good I’d say.

Slow and steady wins the race my friend. Congrats on your purchase of VOD – hard to pick up good value these days, but always nice to pick up a good name.
Ciao,

Ciao Tristan,
Thanks for stopping by! There aren’t a lot of opportunities at the moment, but we have to patient and keep the bar straight! Vodafone is a good name, the opportunity was just to reach the minimum to trade the covered call really, but it was close to my average price so…. 😛

Not much to report I see. At least you are continuing to buy something. Many of our fellow dividend bloggers have decided to sell part of all of their portfolios in anticipation of a huge sell off. Thanks for sharing.

Ciao DH,
Thanks for coming by! I am not selling because profit taking is something that defies a little the idea of the long haul portfolio approach, there is nothing wrong with it of course, but I want a PF that produces a certain yearly income, not a fat bank account with nothing to buy. Prices are too high right now and it’s not easy to enter certain stocks. Having said that I will sell to harvest tax bonuses, but that’s more of a technical point.
Vodafone was added to sell covered calls really, either than that I wouldn’t have bought anything… 😛
As to prediction of market crash… I have stopped making predictions, every time I do it I get it wrong, we’ll play the game when we get there I guess…
Ciao ciao
