Good grief…how things can change. As of now, 0.06% increase since May 2020 (and 2 of 3 funds in the red)…peaked at around 16%

Not quite so bad here as we started ours a bit later than you when the markets had dropped further.
Both A J Bell & Vanguard a little over +2%.
Things can only get better... 🙂

Markets jittery due to Australia rate rise by 0.25% (first since 2010) earlier today and more so by expected 0.5% rate rise anticipated at the end of the US Federal Reserve 2 day meeting on Wednesday.

Yes, I forgot about the BoE meeting on Thursday even though my Google Calendar reminded me a few days back - duh! 😁

Shares ISA currently a disaster (-5.15% today)
Ditto. I started mine in January and it's not been in a positive yet. However, it's a £250 monthly contribution that I'll add to and am aiming to leave untouched for at least 8 years, so I can use it to top up pension amounts once I retire. Or at least that's the plan.

We started two January before last and to be fair they are both just slightly positive albeit well down on the start of this year.
Long term investment though so not really worried.
Still putting money in each month like yourself to take advantage of the lower unit prices whilst the markets are trading a tad down.
Onwards and upwards especially when the very sad war situation comes to an end.

£75 on the PBs this month
I daren't look at how my investment (Vanguard) is performing. I'll just keep paying the quarterly fees and hope that things recover eventually as this is a long term investment for my full retirement.
In the meantime, the occasional contributions from Ernie (£125 this month) and a couple of 1 year fixed rate bonds are just keeping ahead of interest rates (if not inflation)

I always make my ISA share purchases on an ad-hoc basis rather than doing a fixed monthly contribution and letting the provider do the purchasing, as I want to try to pick low market days on which to buy.

Interesting thread, I'm just looking at either A J Bell or Vanguard as possible platforms to move my current pensions to. I retire in six weeks time and my largest pension has lost 28% in twelve months
As it stands I dont think that I will need to touch any of my pensions for at least couple of years, and by then my state pension will have kicked in so I hope to leave them untouched for longer.
