When using HL charts, I like to start by going to the funds section and bringing up the 5 yr chart of Fundsmith. This way you can overlay multiple equity charts on the same graph. Doing that with LWDB and the Lyxsor etf shows LWDB had a 60% total return and L100 had 20% since Sept 2018. Interestingly LWDB beat Fundsmith on the same timescale.

Yes that's a fair point. But still not sure LWDB is knocking socks (but do agree it's differentiated).
Posted at 28/9/2023 07:03 by steve c1
Surely your not comparing like for like. The tracker is an accumulation lwdb is not.

I did say LWDB was differentiated, but that's only thanks to the real business within. Otherwise, all these ITs are just beige megacap punters.

But if you edit the "FROM" to 2008 on here, and click update:



That's the tracker. Then do the same on here:



400p to 1,200p, or 250p to 800p. The socks are still on.

Lwdb knocks the socks off a ftse 100 tracker over the past 15 years.
Posted at 27/9/2023 08:03 by spectoacc
It does differentiate LWDB, but on a slight premium? Was at a discount of around 10% for years.

Also, the major holdings of LWDB, MRCH, CTY:

LWDB - Shell, BP, RR, HSBC, FLTR, GSK, RIO
MRCH - GSK, Shell, BATS, RIO, BP
CTY - Shell, BA., ULVR, BATS


A FTSE100 tracker would save you about 0.7% pa, compound.

Needless to say, you'd find similar holdings in EDIN & TMPL.

Can see an argument for LWDB (but not on a premium), and can see an argument for eg playing discounts on others. But otherwise they're just a beige soup of mega-cap FTSE100's, with the stockpicking at the edges, when they get it right, destroyed by the compound charges. 1% pa of fees/costs add up hugely over years.

I have become a fan of ITs like this one over the last year or so, holding MRCH, CTY and LWDB.

Now that I have 12 months' performance to review. Annual returns sep22 to sep23, including dividends have been 22% for LWDB, and 12-13% for CTY and MRCH. But september 22 was a major dip, so probably not a fair reference point. However whichever way you slice it and dice it, LWDB is best of the three.

I have recently added a few more EDIN and TMPL into the mix, so let's see how they get on.

Quoted Data article -James Henderson and Laura Foll, managers, Law Debenture, 28 July 2023

The period began positively with the return of some investor confidence in equity markets. However, this proved short-lived when the Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. There was concern at the time that this collapse might lead to contagion globally. Thankfully, this did not prove to be the case as the banking system does not carry the same degree of leverage as in the past. The narrative in the market moved on, but risk aversion in the market remains. The global inflation level has not fallen as quickly as some had hoped. This is particularly the case with the UK, resulting in continued upward movement in its interest rates. The outcome has been that the gilt market has adjusted downwards, leaving yields at a level that is even higher than last autumn. This background of rising rates has undermined investor confidence in equities, particularly in UK-orientated small companies. AIM-listed companies in particular, have experienced share price weakness, falling, in some cases, to what appear to be extraordinarily low valuations.
