Ready-made solutions recorded an excellent Q3 as global stock markets continued to hit new heights. AI optimism drove markets, alongside a strong earnings report season and interest rate cuts.

Although concerns of a bubble are growing - with "safe haven" asset gold featuring in headlines frequently thanks to its continued surge (alongside other precious metals) - markets continue to march forward for the time being.

Every ready-made solution we track posted a positive return in what was a textbook quarter; all high risk solutions outperformed their medium risk counterparts, who in turn all outperformed low risk solutions. This is what theory would suggest happens in "normal" quarters, with equity outperforming bonds, and portfolios with higher allocations to shares therefore doing better.

The average return of a high risk portfolio was 8.3%, which is equivalent to £83 profit on a £1,000 investment over the past 3 months. Medium risk portfolios returned an average of 5.7%, whilst low risk portfolios came in with an average of 3.0%. These are very good results, comfortably surpassing Q2's figures (which were also positive).
