Yes overall my portfolios aren't that exciting - not up anything fantastic for the most part either YTD to 30 June

Worst performers
- all to do with resources, although my holdings in these are a lot less than they used to be.

- from Thailand I don't hold for myself, but in my daughters portfolios, I have some small long term holdings KTAM World Energy and KTAM Mining down 7.3% and 6.7%. Although I did buy KTAM Oil fund for them in Jan when I thought the oil price was bottoming and that's up over 11% since then (more timing than anything) which offsets a bit. There are better funds than KTAM offshore I think, just it's easier to buy here for my daughters on smaller monthly amounts, as they don't yet have any offshore accounts

- The two funds I hold in my own name are Blackrock Gold and General down 6.1% and First State Global Resources down -8%

Not particularly worried on any of these, as I've already cut resource holdings in the last few years, and see these as just long term holds. These are about the only ones down over 5%

Best Performers
- Fair few decent performers in various areas: Russia, Japan, UK smaller companies, Europe

- JPM Russia Investment Trust up + 16.5% (excl. divs)

- IEER iShares Eastern European ETF: up 10.4% (excl.divs)

- Schroder Tokyo +15.7% 

- Jupiter European + 9.7% (excl. divs)

- UK Standard Life UK Equity Unconstrained Standard Life UK Smaller Companies and Schroders UK Smaller Companies: +13.6%, +13.9% and +13.3% respectively

Then a lot of mediocrity in the middle:

For Thai equities:

UOB Good Corporate Governance up + 3.6%, but Aberdeen Growth at the other end down - 2.8%. Given the large weighting I have in Thai equity funds, these have flattened overall performance.
Aberdeen's performance has dropped in the last few years for Thailand and other Emerging markets, so for Thai funds I now prefer UOB for new money, though Aberdeen tends to protect a bit better in downturns
Not really looking to add to Thai equities except LTFs each month for the tax benefit

Best Other Area: Trading

All the above I consider investments, usually longer term. The area I've done best though is in SET50 futures and options trading, up + 67% in 6 months

Because the market has just drifted sideways downwards, there was some good money in selling calls that would never hit the exercise price

Then as people have been worried on the downside put options have generally traded at premiums. This gives an extra cushion selling put options for extra premium income as the market dips, and then closing out as it picks up again.

As the market hasn't really gone anywhere, both of these strategies have worked well. Also as the TFEX market isn't that mature, there are often pricing inconsistencies to take advantage of, plus smaller retail have a better chance than usual given the slower pace. Nice string to have to your bow in markets like these

Has probably been the best, lacklustre and uninspiring elsewhere, everything is just treading water.
