the election has boosted the value of our Income Portfolio by almost 5pc

Questor Income Portfolio: Boris Johnson’s victory has reinvigorated the very stocks in which our portfolio is largely invested​

What did the general election do for holders of Questor’s Income Portfolio? There has, naturally enough, been no effect so far on the dividends paid by our holdings but in capital terms the poll has worked wonders for readers: they have gained 4.6pc in a week.

All 14 of our conventional stock or investment trust holdings have gained, while our two venture capital trusts are unchanged since the markets closed on polling day.

Our bonds have reacted to the election result in a much more muted fashion than the stocks: they have risen on average by 0.3pc.
