English term or phrase: well of late
In a fund commentary.

During the period we reinforced existing positions in X and Y. These stocks have been performing well of late; with some improved sentiment arising from Copenhagen, however our wind turbine producers have been heading in the opposite direction.

I am not sure about the meaning of "well of late". Thank you in advance.
