Sharing my self-invested pension progress as I take my SIPP from £128k in 2021 (age 46), to £450k in 2035 (age 60). It needs to grow 8% each & every year.
Put £30k of my £46k cash held in my SiPP into Royal London Short Term Money Market (Acc) to get a better return on cash I'm holding. It means it's not instantly available to invest should an opportunity suddenly arise, but I'm ok with that for now. It should be fairly low risk.
@a1exh I had £20k of RR bought at £1, but sold it at £2... seemed good at the time! I've averaged down a lot with my housebuilders, too much... now they compose £170k out of total £270k portfolio. I need them to come good!
Crossing my fingers that the lower than expected inflation figures help my house builder shares long term. They certainly had a bump up today (so far)! #VTY#BTRW#TW. #PSN
@a1exh I'm 5% up on BTRW and VTY, 3% down on PSN and 11% down on TW. They are all profitable co's, can't see them ever not being - so, is it just time? Hope to have 30% up in 1-3 years, and 5-10% p.a. divs in the meantime. Even with TW 11% down, I've got 4% divs coming back soon.
If I get an average of a 40% increase over a few years on my housebuilders (including some at 5-10% divs pa.) then that would add an extra 71k on my portfolio. Not guaranteed obvs, but definitely possible.
Portfolio Update: Total=£266,917. Shares=£229,848, cash=£37,069. Divs/Int ytd 25/26=£4652. Slightly up on July, plenty up on April. Very housebuilder heavy - and they are only just starting to pick up again.
