I beat the index consistently. Although the index is the one supplied by freetrade I didn't choose it myself. Its the FTSE ALL WORLD ETF (£VWRL).
I am guessing but I would say I have 25% in frontier markets. Bank of Georgia (up 68% since April) Georgia Capital up 8% since April but on 60% discount and a couple of Vietnam investment trusts.
I managed to beat the index by NOT buy dogs like FEET. It has been poor right from day one. I have watched it but never saw anything good about it.
On the other hand I bought Smithson during the crash was and i emphasise was up 126% on this before the rotation still up 45% ish.
So for those who want to beat the index all you need is.....Luck.
I will have to beat the index for more than 2.5 years 5 at least before I can remove the word luck.
