Letter on Model Portfolio performance, markets and other details

August 17, 2019

Dear Sir, I hope you are doing well. It’s been a year since we started model portfolio service on 15th Aug’18 and I thought of sharing views on performance, markets and other details. In the last 1 year our Alpha Model Portfolio has delivered negative return of 15%.
