Portfolio Five is almost 12 years old. The beneficiary contributed $6000 and the trustee $12,000 for a total of $18,000. The current value is $38,767 for a gain of $20,767 or 115%, which is 11.4% / year adjusted for the timing of cash flows. You can see the details here or at the link on the right.
The stocks in the portfolio are generally doing well. Alibaba and Baozun have been hit with headwinds out of China. Right now there is $7,452 in cash, mostly from the sale of Appian (APPN), which rose quickly and we sold and have not yet reinvested the funds.
It is minor and doesn’t impact value but we moved these portfolios from UTMA to owned by the beneficiary and the provider flipped all the individual stocks to reinvest dividends so now we have a lot of fractional shares. I turned that off and it is minor in the grand scheme but an annoyance because I work here to tie out to the penny.
