So I use the Freetrade app for my "fun" investments. I've got about £2k in there, and I've had it for about 4 years now. There's a section where you can check the "Time-weighted rate of return", basically removing the effects of deposits and withdrawals. Their wiki says this is usually the best figure to compare portfolio performance. Over that time, my performance has been 337%. The performance of the FTSE All-World Acc has been 67%. Apparently I'm _massively_ outperforming the world market, which I'm a little suspicous of. I'm mostly invested in tech since I'm a software engineer - I got real lucky with both ARM and AMD, investing days before they skyrocketed, but also got good returns from TSMC (took ages though), Coinbase, and Games Workshop.
