Over the past year #AJB and #ADBE swapped from being ☀️ to 🐕 (and vice versa) so I guess patience can help.

Second year in a row when my major holding, Fundsmith, underperformed the rest, hence the sale of a small portion of this.

Good luck everyone in 2025! My current holdings are shown below.

The major changes to the port. over the year were the removal of #TET and the addition of #WISE.

Three ☀️☀️☀️in 24 were #ESGB, #AJB and #GAW ($AAPL, being a major contributor to performance over the past two years). The three 🐕🐕🐕 #SPX, $ADBE and #BVXP.
