For the long-time followers of this blog, you would probably know that we are also managing our own personal investment portfolio in the Philippine stock market. We refer to that portfolio as "Filipino Investor Equity Fund" or simply FIEF. So here's an update on our recent trades and our performance since we started investing in the PSE since March 2010.
PERFORMANCE:
We've managed to perform relatively well for the year 2016 despite the index being down for the whole year, we're up +19.36% vs PCOMP's -2.46% as of 30-Nov-16. The performance was mainly driven by our exposure on RSA stocks, i.e. SMC, PCOR, PF in addition to some notable gains from STI and FOOD. We don't really memorize every single trade that made and lost money because we try to look and manage the portfolio as a whole rather than on an individual stock basis but those are the primary drivers on top of our head.
Since inception-wise we are also performing relatively well vs the PCOMP and S&P 500. FIEF's CAGR is +19.31% in the last 6.69 Years vs PCOMP's +11.99% and S&P 500's +9.94% in the same time period.
We intend to continue our value investment philosophy moving forward.

Performance Summary:
*In computing the Portfolio performance, everytime we add additional capital to the portfolio the accounting treatment is as if the cash was added at the start of the fiscal year. We believe there's a more accurate way of computing the performance than this method but we're sticking to it because it is simple, it's conservative and it makes intuitive sense.
