Visa leads the group with an 18.2% return, lifting the overall average despite losses elsewhere in the portfolio. The remaining eleven picks collectively show weaker results, pulling the average into negative territory.
The gap to the benchmark remains modest at this stage. Whether the portfolio narrows that difference or falls further behind will depend on how the second half of these picks performs in coming months.
