As some of you may have noticed, I want to restructure my portfolio and finally give it a consistent and sensible strategy. After some discussions I have my rough structure, which I shared a few days ago with you, now concretized in a portfolio / dashboard and I'm looking forward to your feedback and your shitposts again.


The shared portfolio / dashboard is hypothetical and should be implemented so in the short to medium term. The absolute values are fictitious and only serve to make the distribution clearer. They correspond to the distribution of my savings amounts. Currently I do not plan to rebalance (but who knows what the future will bring). This is only my ETF and stock portfolio. All other investments such as crypto are deliberately excluded here.


For those who want to read a lot, here is an explanation why the portfolio looks the way it does (the rest of you just jump directly to my dashboard):


The goal is financial independence sometime within the next 30 years without asset depletion. I would like to achieve this partly via dividends and partly via sales that are offset by price gains. The more generated via dividends, the better.


Since it makes no sense with the investment horizon to bet on stocks with very high dividends already today, but at the same time I want to use dividends "in old age" without paying great taxes on reallocations, I prefer the distributing variants of my ETF. I hope to get good value and dividend growth from my portfolio allocation. Distributions are reinvested directly, the partial foregoing of the tax deferral effect is consciously accepted. Should my opinion change at some point, I will continue to invest in the reinvestors instead of the distributors.


CORE

A world portfolio with overweighted dividends / USA share, which will ideally remain in my portfolio until the bitter end.


40% $VGWL (+0.22%) FTSE All World Distributing for global equity market participation without focus on dividends

15% $SPYD (-1.2%) SPDR S&P US Dividend Aristocrats Distributing for dividend focus without sacrificing growth. I don't like the resulting overweight to the US, but I'm missing the alternative here.

5% $IUSN (-0.59%) Small Caps to give the small ones a chance and to profit from their growth.


As expected, there is no overlap in the core between the small caps and FTSE All World. Also to be expected is the overlap of the US Dividend Aristocrats with the other two ETFs in the core. However, due to the focus on dividend growth, these are deliberately accepted. Nevertheless, the top 10 individual positions in the core account for less than 13%, and the top 3 together account for less than 7%. From my point of view diversification enough.


SATELLITE

The satellites in my portfolio consist of industry and sector ETFs and are probably weighted a bit higher than in many core sattelite strategies. Yes, I think I'm God and I imagine I can beat the market with this. Yes, I'm also a realist and know that I probably won't succeed. But investing should also be a bit of fun, and that's why a bit of gambling is part of it for me. I would simply be too bored to invest in an ordinary world portfolio.


The Sattelite positions should of course be held as long as possible, but the probability is quite high that these will be replaced at some point.


10% $AYEW (+1.58%) MSCI World Information Technology Distributing. In IT and Tech lies the present & future. But what about all the trending topics? Surely cybersecurity, AI, cloud, semiconductors, ... are growing much faster? Why not a more specific ETF? All true, but I honestly couldn't choose one of the trend themes, also don't know which one will grow the most in the near future and which one will enter a weak phase first, if necessary. The MSCI World Information Technology offers large and small companies from all IT sectors, including the hype themes. Therefore, it seems to me to be the best option for a broad exposure to tech themes. Only the weighting of the top positions and their overlap with my core bothers me a bit. But there is no way around these top companies at the moment, so the weighting is probably fair and you don't have to buy additional individual shares of these companies.


10% $CBUF (+0.04%) MSCI World Health Care Distributing.

Healthcare will always be important, already offers a lot of stability and can grow excellently in the future due to new developments. Yes, but can't we be a bit more disruptive? Why not Biotech or at least Innovative Health Care? The MSCI World Health Care does contain companies that can also be found in Biotech and Innovative Health Care. At the same time, there are also established companies that are already earning a lot of money today and give the ETF some stability.


5% $LVNG (-0.22%) Environmental Impact.

Sustainability and addressing the climate crisis are important. There are plenty of ETFs on the market for this, specializing in Clean Energy or Battery Value Chain, for example. This ETF focuses on companies from various sectors such as clean water, renewable energy, electric vehicles, but also waste and recycling management. It is exactly this composition that makes it so attractive to me. The ETF is unfortunately very small and was only launched in 2021, but it is only 5% and YOLO.


5% $3SUE MSCI World Consumer Staples Distributing.

Boring, I know. Consumer staples always go though, haven't done so well in the last few years and add some stability to the portfolio with lots of defensive stocks, which may be needed in the next few years due to the high weighting of the largest tech stocks.


Among the satellites, there are just 3 overlaps. The overlaps to the core are of course numerous but the overweighting is of course the purpose at this point.


Here are a few more facts about the ETF part:

00.28% TER

01.30% Dividend

18.45 P/E RATIO

03.27 KBV


70.66% North America

15.86% Europe

10.97% Asia


21.75% Tech

18.26% Health Care

11.25% Industrial

11.11% Consumer Staples

10.78% Financial


Top 3 stocks are

3.88% Apple

3.41% Microsoft

1.07% Nvidia


The top 10 positions take up about 13% of the portfolio.


SHARES

Did I mention that I also want to have a little fun? Accordingly, equities account for about 10%. These 10% are companies from industries that largely fall short in my ETF portfolio and that I am convinced of for various reasons.


Whoever has made it this far, reacts to the post, leaves a valuable comment or a shitpost and starts it with the codeword DonkeyInvestor (gladly also with @ in front), gets my follow.


Thank you very much!

@DonkeyInvestor can be done. You say you don't want to access the money for 30 years. I wouldn't invest in distributing ETFs now, if you start in 15 years it will be enough. Besides, you don't need to reallocate later. You can simply sell your ETFs piece by piece? 🤷‍♂️ I would always rely on the mathematics when investing, and an accumulating ETF is now better 🤔

@DollarDon I would like to access the money in 30 years at the latest. Depending on how things go (I have a lot of crypto and anything can happen), it could be as early as 10-15 years. From a purely rational point of view, you're right about the dividends, of course. Emotionally, however, it will get me down if I make my living solely from my investments and have to hope that my withdrawals will be recouped. Hence the desire for distributions. You write 'can be done that way'. In your subjective opinion, what could be done better (besides dividend vs accumulation)?
profile image
@DonkeyInvestor I would overweight the individual sectors by expanding the individual stocks. Simply for the reason that if one invests several decades one also deals with the topic a lot and constantly learns. At some point you have enough knowledge to make good decisions and possibly beat the market (I know most do not make it). I find the approach of Peter Lynch quite interesting. Is of course only my personal opinion, since I deal with business models, etc. in my studies and it is easier for me to evaluate a business than the average citizen 🤔 So depends on your expected return. How high should it be per year?

@DollarDon if you reinvest the distributions directly, it is virtually irrelevant. 801€/1000€ tax-free p.a. are not negligible for periods of 10-20 years and you can cover them with an Ausschütter super easy without having to sell at the end of the year.
profile image
@CMustermann As long as you are under the tax exempt amount with your distributions, this can be neglected. But if you receive 10 or 20 k a year then it plays a big role 🚀

@DollarDon Have tried my hand at stock picking. I enjoy dealing with companies and identifying suitable ones. However, I lose the desire when it goes into the depth and from a certain number of titles it is difficult to stay up to date with all of them. So I neglect the companies once I have them in my portfolio and then miss the exit. Accordingly, I have decided for me to weight individual stocks to 10% and only hold the companies in which I also have an interest, so stay up to date. return as much as possible 😅. Haven't given it much thought to be honest. Identify suitable investments and the rest will fall into place 😅

@DollarDon Before you get such sums with a shaker, you have to invest absurd amounts. I would say that very few people have that here 🙃

@CMustermann Well, 1-3 million should be in this portfolio in the end.

@DonkeyInvestor With such sums, a tax strategy makes sense. However, I would not fall back on getquin, but on a specialist tax advisor :)

@CMustermann Right. But since we are currently still far from the 1-3 million, I'm still saving it and will then look for one at a later date 👍

@TopperHarley Shitposts and selfishly getting rich at the expense of the community 👍 Which part in my portfolio don't you like?
@DonkeyInvestor I think it's good. I have more or less the same strategy. Fat block World plus themes ETF and a few individual stocks ❤️

profile image
@DonkeyInvestor sounds like a very mature strategy 💪🏽 I also see potential in the individual stocks. Did you then at some point shift from other positions into the $SPYD to increase dividends?

profile image
@hendrik_lmr Thank you. No, I want to avoid switching for tax reasons. The hope is that I actually collect a comparable payout from dividend growth and appreciation in a few years as I would if I invested in a dividend ETF today without much growth, but who knows what the future holds? It's just the best guess I have at the moment 😅

Where Crypto?💸 No, seriously, I think the distribution is quite okay. The idea sounds good in any case. I for me just need (much) dividend for the psyche. But you're right. At 30 years you do not need that now theoretically.

@DonkeyInvestor Since I actually did not have the automatic @ before when you press "Reply". A case for customer service 🤪😂 I don't like crypto because a) I don't understand it well enough, b) I don't deal with it (my own fault up to this point, of course) and c) I think it's pure speculation. For example, crypto ban in all of Europe and everything is already invalid. The same with regulations, etc. In addition, to my knowledge, there is no real countervalue behind it. Especially with Bitcoin, you read again and again that the number of Bitcoin is limited. How is that supposed to work? Either it is limited, in which case the money supply will no longer be sufficient for everyone, or it is not limited, in which case there is no real value behind it, or it can be increased as needed (printing money, so to speak), in which case it is once again the power of individuals. Furthermore, I don't really care whether I pay online with USD or EUR or Bitcoin. The only advantage I actually see is that Bitcoin is Bitcoin. No matter where in the world.
profile image
@Thronar This is not automatically put in front of replies to activities, which is why this is a good criterion to find out who has actually read the post 😜🤫 Thanks for your explanation on the subject of crypto. But I don't think this is the right place for a discussion about it (and I have no idea if you even want one 😅🤔).
profile image
@DonkeyInvestor True, it's just automatically put in front of it when you reply to a comment. I guess a discussion about bitcoin has no point with me anyway because I don't know my way around well enough to actually have an informed discussion 😅

Sounds coherent and well-considered. With regard to ETFs, I'm focusing more on the accumulating variants - I'd like to generate cash for reinvestment via individual dividend stocks. 👍

@DonkeyInvestor Good thing, I have a similar opinion. The enumeration together gives 100%, how does that look in relation to Crypto? Do you just run that uninfluenced next to the ETF portfolio? Deposits still planned? Also plan next year to take at least one individual share in the portfolio. Kind of belongs here, I think 😁
1
profile image
@Fan Crypto runs uninfluenced parallel to the ETF and stock portfolio and is also not kept in balance. Unless there is an 80-90% crash in my fav cryptos, they will not be further increased by own money. Through staking, liquid swap and hopefully a few Goxcoins, however, there could still be an increase.
profile image
@DonkeyInvestor
So, I've read through your post a few times now (because I find the strategy interesting) and I have to say: Basically, I find the ideas really good, well thought out and especially on the aspect of the different market phases seen also relatively "safe", but I just do not understand the timing completely. In my opinion, this strategy is ideal for the last 5 years, but not if you still want to invest for so long. In my opinion, you skip points and COULD deny yourself some growth returns. Of course you can never tell beforehand, but you don't have to be able to as long as you have enough years ahead of you. But the important thing is anyway that you feel comfortable with it and if now is the right time for this strategy --- good luck! I will definitely follow the whole thing!

@Ami Thank you for your feedback ❤️. Would probably have been my strategy 5 years ago, I would have dealt with it then already so 😜. You write at the beginning that I'm 5 years too late and write at the end that you do not know whether now is ALREADY the right time for it. Am I now too late or too early? Or both because now dividends are stupid and the title selection 5 years ago but no longer in the future was the bringer? Future viability: I would exchange the satellites if necessary, only the core should remain fairly constant. Which areas do you think promise more return within the next years / long term? Which 'points' do I skip?
profile image
@DonkeyInvestor Ahh sorry, I just realize that I had phrased it sth stupidly, I didn't mean the last 5 years, so not 2017-2021 but the last 5 years of his being an investor. Maybe you understand my comment better now :)
profile image
@Ami Understood. Related to what? Risk? Dividend?
profile image
I like it very much @DonkeyInvestor We are pursuing a similar strategy. I also had the problem with the overlaps that you don't like about the Information Tech etf. I opted for the HanETF Tech Megatrends here - but only 5%, it's a bit more speculative.

Question: Why no emerging markets in it? I personally think that this is where the music will be played in the future

I've now built the core as msci world and msci em imi + msci world quality dividend - I'm happy with that for now

Otherwise, good luck :)

@boersen_student The All World also includes emerging markets. I cover industry and EM with an ETF because I don't feel like setting a weighting myself and keeping it in balance.
profile image
I quite like it overall.

I've also been flirting with the SPDR High Dividend ERF. But I will probably stick with the FTSE All World (the SPDR has only moved sideways in recent months).

I also wanted to add small caps at some point, but then also left it as the 5% probably doesn't really make a difference. I would probably put more into the FTSE All World.

I might cut back a little and make sure that I have at least a 10% weighting in the ETFs.

profile image
@six Absolutely understandable to put at least 10% in each ETF. But I want to play a bit more and if I'm going to discipline myself to buy fewer individual stocks, then at least a few sector ETFs 😅.

I think 5% is a minimum but still acceptable position size. I don't want to give too much weight to the two sector ETFs with 5%. But maybe I'll reallocate that at some point 👍

profile image
In my opinion, there are far too many ETFs, and I'm not a fan of sector ETFs in general. I would focus more on individual stocks. To make it easier for you to understand my opinion a little better, I can recommend the 11th episode of the podcast Börsen Realtalk by Michael Schattmann. I have a very similar opinion. LG
