For most of this financial year, the Intelligent Investor Growth Portfolio has been struggling to keep up with the surging banking sector. But there was a sharp turnaround in May, with the big four banks giving up a whopping 12%, on average, due in large part to the Government’s plan to impose a levy amounting to around 4% of their net profit.

Our Growth Portfolio doesn’t hold any of the big four banks, so it avoided this downdraught and managed to post a gain of 1.0% for the month.

The best performers for the month were Ainsworth Game Technology (up 19%), Flight Centre (up 14%) and Fleetwood (up 9%). The worst performers were Nanosonics (down 11%) and GBST Holdings (down 8%).
