Still, I am managing to hold above 100%, actually 104.92%, for the 6 years since beginning this portfolio.
Its worth mentioning some big annual falls with R-R, losing -33.91% in 2015, Banco Santander down -37.83%, and Centrica's -21.83% along with a lessening scale of others.
Attempting to address the balance is Barrat Dev. with a gain of 75.12%, Imperial Brands with a 26.46% gain, Microsoft with 27.59% and GE with 29.73%.
That is a wide spectrum in performances ranging from +75.12% to -37.83%!
The FTSE also finished 2015 down -4.93% (2014: -2.71%), and up just 15.32% by the same 6 year measure.
Again, I would stress the big contributing difference being my reinvestment of dividends in my index v. the bare quoted FTSE 100.
Talking of dividends, another recovering behemoth, BP is again delivering a reasonable quarterly dividend this month.
