Monthly Portfolio Review

November 2025

Hi Apes!🍌

This is our monthly portfolio review, where we look at the performances of our respective portfolios and deep dives. For the new apes, we have the:

• Banana Index: Best ideas within a global, unconstrained portfolio (15-25 stocks)

• Small Banana Index: Best ideas limited to global companies under US$10 billion in market capitalization (15-25 stocks)

  ---

We are off to a strong start across our portfolios, and we took advantage of the volatility in the last 2 weeks to reduce our cash holdings from ~8% at inception to being fully deployed heading into end of year! Volatility is not risk, it’s opportunity ;)

Portfolio Rules

1. There is no day-trading, leverage, or options in these portfolios. As with my investment philosophy, I seek the best ideas with favourable risk/reward over 1-3 years. Also, leverage is usually where portfolios go to die :/ (don’t ask me how I know this)
2. Maximum of 10% cash position in each portfolio
3. There will be tactical buys/sells (maybe a few times per month) and I send these through the chat as and when I make the changes (remember to join the chat here if you haven’t)
