January was an interesting month. Turmoil began in the share markets while gold recovered some of it's December losses only to head down again from the middle of the month. Balancing that on the positive side we had some small gains from the weakening NZ dollar. Roughly speaking we lost about 1% in each fund from the market drops and gained about 2% from the currency.
