QAV Light Weekly Update #52

Hel­lo QAV Light Brigade

It’s anoth­er Mon­day and this is my week­ly report.

A fun­ny ‘ol week for the AORD. Up in morn­ings, down in the after­noons, but fin­ished the week up. It’s down already today though.

Let’s have a look at how our port­fo­lios are doing and what we have to buy and sell.

PORTFOLIO UPDATES

Well this week marks the 12 month anniversary of launching QAV Light! 

It’s been a rocky year, with the Ukraine inva­sion, Chi­na’s COVID sit­u­a­tion, and inter­est rates going up con­stant­ly around the world. Despite all of that, our port­fo­lios as a group are up ~16% CAGR p.a., so that isn’t too bad. We are lag­ging the bench­mark, though, and we would rather be beat­ing it, but TK is con­fi­dent that we will end up dou­bling it over the long term. That’s what he’s always done, and it’s what the Dum­my Port­fo­lio has done too. 

I hope that those of you who have been with us on the Light jour­ney for a while are feel­ing good about your port­fo­lio and have learned some things along the way. 

GROUP SUMMARY

The Light port­fo­lios as a group are up 15.95% CAGR p.a., ver­sus the STW which is up 26.9%. So we’re cur­rent­ly lag­ging the bench­mark by 41%.

Here’s a spread­sheet con­tain­ing all of our cur­rent hold­ings. Of course, you should NOT treat this as a shop­ping list, as many of these stocks are now no longer val­ue buys, as their share price has gone up since we bought them (yay!). It’s just a record of what we are hold­ing.

22.1 Portfolio 

Incep­tion date 18/4/2022. This port­fo­lio declined slight­ly again last week. Port­fo­lio 22.1 is cur­rent­ly down 5.8% vs the bench­mark, which is up 4.2 % over the same peri­od.

You can see the full chart and trans­ac­tions on the Light home­page.

22.2 Portfolio 

Incep­tion date 08/08/2022. This port­fo­lio con­tin­ues to per­form very well. Port­fo­lio 22.2 is up 22.7% vs the bench­mark which is up 10.8%.

22.3 Portfolio 

Incep­tion date 7/11/2022. Port­fo­lio 22.3 dipped slight­ly last week, and is up 1.65% ver­sus the bench­mark which is up 10.5%.

BUYS

** Please remem­ber to review our Buy­ing Guide­lines to under­stand which cap bands you should be look­ing at and oth­er impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tions. 

DISCLOSURE

In the inter­est of full dis­clo­sure, we would like to advise that, as of the date of this email, the QAV team cur­rent­ly hold these stocks in their per­son­al port­fo­lios:

AMP CGF FHE GRR IGL JHG MQG NAB NHC NWH PRU QAN QBE RRL S32 SGM WAM WDS WHC

Please note that our per­son­al hold­ings might not include the stocks we rec­om­mend in QAV Light. This is because we already have full port­fo­lios (15–20 stocks) and can only add new stocks if we have to sell some­thing.

If you’re inter­est­ed in learn­ing more, please review our trad­ing and dis­clo­sure pol­i­cy.

FOR NEW MEMBERS

If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works.

1. We send you an email every Mon­day advis­ing which stocks we are adding to our Light port­fo­lio.
2. You can copy our trades, but please remem­ber to review our Trad­ing Guide­lines to under­stand which cap you should be look­ing at and oth­er impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tions. And con­sult a finan­cial plan­ner before mak­ing any deci­sions.
3. We don’t rec­om­mend that you add stocks which are already in our port­fo­lio. Their posi­tion on our buy list might have changed since we rec­om­mend­ed them. Just start with the stocks rec­om­mend­ed after you become a mem­ber.
4. If one of the stocks we add breach­es one of our sell con­di­tions, we will sell it from our port­fo­lio and you’ll get an email advis­ing of the trade. Again, you can copy our trades, but seek finan­cial advice before mak­ing any deci­sions. And please check your Rule #1 price (see Trad­ing Guide­lines).

That’s it for today!

If we decide to buy or sell some­thing, we’ll let you know.
