After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (+1.99%)
$TDIV (+2.12%)
$DGSD (+2.44%)
$MAIN (+0.31%)
$NOVO B (+4.44%)
$PGR (+2.92%)
$PSA (+3.11%)
$UKW (+2.21%)
$APH (+5.06%)
$DHL (+0.99%)
$HSBA (+0.36%)
$MUX (+8.85%)
$NEE (-0.02%)
$ZTS (+0.91%)
$AFL (-2.67%)
$O (-0.98%)
$SHEL (+3.42%)
$VID (-1.45%)
$RACE (+0.52%)
$PLD (+3.05%)
$OMV (+0.49%)
$PAL (+3.75%)
$RIO (+1.06%) and last but not least $VOW (+0.05%)

I used the sale of Enphase to make a new investment in Vidrala, which has been on my radar for a few weeks. The company actually has everything I like about companies: an established, rather defensive business model, good dividend growth (even without the special dividend of the last two years), a bit of sustainability, growth ambitions and a suitable size, not too small but not too big either. What's more, it's cheaper over time than it has been for years. A subsequent purchase in the near future would also be an option, but I will wait and see how the investment develops in the near future.

Good chance...
