And dividends came in from Aviva, Apple, and BG Group.
Supermarkets were the only fallers in the month with both Morrison and Tesco falling back.
My portfolio gained 4.15% in the month and Year to date gains now stand at 19.92% v. the FTSE 100's similarly healthy 11.62%.
19.92% following a small pullback from current year highs when my portfolio flirted with an all-time 100% gain as shown in the earlier post 20 May 2013: Portfolio milestone.

With more than half the year still to go it seems strange to see a near 20% gain year to date but with plenty of dividends to come in the coming months it would seem possible for my portfolio to consolidate its current position if a small degree of stability in global markest can be maintained.
