December 2018 Performance “Robert’s 2018 Vintage SaaS Index”

Posted by

December 2018 performance. The December to remember, what a pounding the general stock market took, but the SaaSy Index fared extremely well compared to pretty much everything else. When you consider I started the index in May 2018 to end the year up 0.40% is great! If I had started the index in January 2018 it would be up over 40%! Compare the annual performance of the SaaSy index to any major index and you will see why I like this sector. Below is the monthly performance broken down along with the cumulative performance since May 2018.

SaaS has been a strong group of stocks to own compared to the broader market in 2018. I expect the trend to continue in 2019 and beyond. I think we are looking at a 5-10 year trend that is still in the early innings.
