also bought 2 $VUSA (+0.57%) and 7 $EUE (+0.81%) and sold 5 positions in $NFLX (-0.39%) .

Very happy with all this transactions and on to my first 10 k.

So I just realised that I've been investing for exactly 1 year and 1 week, so I thought this would be a good moment to reflect. I'm 36, the total portfolio size is 50k+ and the money isn't needed in short term. My portfolio summarised:

1. ETF core, 50% at minimum: $VDEV (+0.41%) and $VFEM (+1.26%) , recently added $EUE (+0.81%) as I see more potential in the EU than in the US in the short-medium term. I like how a combination of these 3 ETFs allows for more adaptability than simply putting everything in a world ETF. Plus, the TER is a bit lower.

2. Individual stocks, max 10 positions, only including companies that I understand and have faith in that they will perform well in the next couple of years. The goal is to at least match $IWDA (+0.34%) but preferably to make some additional gains. In summary:

Tech:

$NVDA (+4.29%) : committed after the post-Deepseek dip, will just wait out all the short-term turbulence

$AMZN (+3.03%) : doesn't need additional info.

$ASML (+2.14%) : ditto

$VRT (+0.73%) : see one of my previous posts on GQ. Bit too volatile for me now, but when the AI-hype picks up again, will perform well.

Health:

$NVO (+6.61%) : I have a lot of faith in the GLP1-narrative, stock is very undervalued

$LLY (-4.03%) : same at NVO, got pummeled hard recently but in longer term another good bet in the GLP1-race.

Divident:

$ALV (+0.14%) : popular German insurance company. Divident-wise, I have more faith in insurance companies than banks. Banks also face more headwinds due to fintech.

$ASRNL (+0.6%) : comparable to Allianz, solid, no-nonsense Dutch insurance company.

Bit more speculative:

$NU (+0.08%) : I think fintech has a lot of potential and NU was valued quite cheaply compared to US- or EU-based counterparts. Could benefit from US recession if USD evaluates.

What are your thoughts? What would you add or lose? I'm thinking of adding $GOOG (+1.06%) when the current downtrend subsides. Does make the portfolio more tech-heavy but all companies are internationally oriented (in case of US recession) and should outperform in the longer term.

Thanks in advance!
