With the year winding down and just a few more trading weeks left, I thought it would be interesting to map the YTD and 5-year performance of several global markets.

My observations, YTD and 5-Year
- It's shocking how crap the UK has performed, but perhaps not considering the entire Brexit disaster
- Canadian markets performed below average
- Large Cap US and Tech delivers
- China is lagging the US in performance
- India and Japan have returned to solid performance
- Kudos If you took a punt on Crypto 5 years ago and still holding
