https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=980261780My numbers updated for June are below. An interesting point to note is that my entire YTD underperformance can be explained by the drop in the value of the dollar. My performance is reported in EUR whereas the benchmarks I report are in USD. If I reported my performance in USD it would be +6.62% YTD instead of -5.39%:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun YTD CAGR GSD
Me 2.72% 5.29% -1.79% -5.50% -1.63% -4.19% -5.39% -10.50% 15.34%
NASDAQ 1.49% -3.80% -8.21% 0.85% 9.56% 6.66% 5.61% 11.54% 25.25%
DOW JONES 4.71% -1.43% -4.04% -3.17% 4.14% 4.50% 4.38% 8.94% 15.20%
S&P500 2.69% -1.27% -5.57% -0.86% 6.29% 5.14% 6.05% 12.50% 16.65%
Index Average 2.96% -2.17% -5.94% -1.06% 6.66% 5.43% 5.35% 10.99% 19.03%
Note that all numbers include dividends (less > 30% combined US and my country withhold tax for dividends received in my portfolio). I used the total returns of the corresponding ETF's (ONEQ, DIA and SPY) as a proxy for total return of the indices.
