All You Need to Know About My Real Portfolio on the WSE – Summary After 4 Years

4 years of investing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange

Time flies quickly. I remember publishing a post about the results of 3.5 years of investing and now we have another half a year in my investing history. Let’s have a look at those 4 years. My real wallet on the Warsaw Stock Exchange gained +120.57%, which gives +21.87% annually.

The first year 05.2013-04.2014 ended up with a result +22.39%

The second year 05.2014-04.2015 ended up with a result +19.49%

The third year 05.2015-04.2016 ended up with a result +12.29%

The fourth year 05.2016-04.2017 ended up with a result +34.90%

The effect of the inflation on the investments

Why do I include inflation in my calculation?

Inflation reduces the purchasing power. So let’s have a look at the fourth year of my investing. During this time the interest rate on deposits of up to 2 years was 1.46%. At the same time, the inflation rate was 1.61%. It means that an average deposit made you loose 1.46%-1.61%=-0.15%. Or, in the other words, your return on investment was reduced by 1.61% in this year.

It is worth having in mind this principle because after years of worrying about deflation, in 2017 the inflation came up both in Europe and the USA.
