Poll of the week: Are you happy with your investing performance in 2025?

As 2025 comes to a close, we ask the only question that matters - are you satisfied with your returns over the last 12 months?

Another year is almost ready to be consigned to the history books, which means now time is the time to reflect on the year that was. 

While twists and turns were in abundance and market narratives moved quicker than a Dan Brown novel, at the end of the day, all that really matters is returns.

So how did you get on in 2025? Was it a bumper year for your portfolio, or a year to forget? 

What went right for you in 2025, what went wrong, and what was the one lesson you've taken away from this year?

Feel free to nominate your best and worst calls for the year in the comments below.
