I started keeping better track of my portfolio’s returns at the beginning of 2017, and in early 2018, I began tracking the portfolio’s performance on a weekly basis by recording the portfolio’s return at the end of each week. In addition, I track the portfolio peaks and troughs. I have found that tracking results over an extended period provides a 10,000-foot view not visible in the context of a shorter timeframe. A concentrated growth portfolio, which is subject to high volatility, can suffer occasional large drops; seeing such drops in the context of a very long time period can provide a degree of comfort and confidence that helps enable me to stay the course without losing sleep. Since 2018, my portfolio experienced four drops of 35% or more; such drops can make one feel unsettled, and many investors can’t stomach such drops and, therefore, prefer a less concentrated, more diversified portfolio even if that means settling for lower long-run performance.
