Growth Portfolio Returns
Below are the results of the Growth Portfolio started on June 1st 2018 so it can be tracked in real time here on my website. I decided to start this separate portfolio at the same time I started my Peer to Peer Lender Portfolio giving both portfolios similar balances so we can see the actual returns of each on a monthly basis. I have been investing in these assets, with this exact portfolio distribution, for over 20 years. This is where most of my personal investment capital still resides.

Portfolio Comparison
Below is a comparison of how my Personal Growth Portfolio compares to other popular portfolios over the last few years. As you can see, the % returns and drawdowns are better than the original Harry Browne Permanent Portfolio.
Portfolio 1 is my current personal portfolio allocation.
Portfolio 2 is a 50/50 mix of stocks and bonds.
Portfolio 3 is the original Harry Browne’s Permanent Portfolio mix. Cash has been left out, as I think that skews it to the downside unfairly.
The S&P ETF is there as a representation of the US Stock Market Baseline.
BALANCES shown are just there to show growth as an example. They are not actual portfolio values.
