This month I’ve opened up my 100 EM Clean fund, adding both iShares Global Clean Energy and iShares Global Clean Water to my portfolio.
As this is month #2, I’ve invested a total of £300, and am currently seeing a return of -£3.43, or about -1%. To see my portfolio updated daily, see my portfolio page.
About my investments:
Every month I use Freetrade to invest £100 into each of several buckets of investments. If you’re a new customer and are referred to them (you can join here), you’ll also get a free, random share in a company or other fund, worth between £3 and £200.

Happening Recently
- February was a relatively normal and slow month really
- No further progress on the freelance side of things

- Maxing out my LISA should be just about doable by my next payday
- I’ve increased my pension contributions from 5% to 7%, and will be increasing that every 2-3 months until it’s about 15%, giving me chance to get used to the slow drop in wages
