As 2016 is drawing to a close

Unlike the usual format of this column I do not comment on investment markets this time around or provide our investment views. They are unlikely to change from our Monthly Review of Portfolio Performance to October 2016. However, by the time the November issue will be released I will be overseas, watching the markets from a different, very cold perspective.

Do refer to our October issue for the last review of investment markets and our investment views for 2016. I trust you find something of interest and something you can personally relate to from time to time in these reviews!
