Summary of December 2025
Portfolio @ End of Dec25
Year 2025 is a superb year for stock markets in almost the whole world, but not for Malaysia.
After suffering loss in the first 11 months, KLCI managed to end the year in positive territory with a 2.3% gain, thanks to a late push of the index stocks in December.
However, most small and mid cap stocks suffered badly.
For investors who invest in US stock market, it seems to be a good harvest year. An annual return of 20-30% should be easily within reach.
The S&P 500 advanced 16.4% in 2025, but it still "underperformed" compared to other major markets in the world.
The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF registered a remarkable annual return of 32.3% in 2025. It just shows how bullish year 2025 was.
