The enemy of the best is often the good.

I have these ETFs in my portfolio:

$TDIV (-0.02%)

$GGRP (+0.48%)

$FUSD (+0.32%)

$FGEQ (+0.27%)

Some, if not all, have outperformed the MSCI World at times.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment they are all about the same weighting and should be increased further. While I am trying to implement a growth strategy with equities, these ETFs are intended to generate passive income.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectively speaking, I would have to sell the $FUSD (+0.32%) as it further increases the US share and overlaps heavily with at least two of the other ETFs. In other words, it reduces diversification in all respects.

But on the other hand $FUSD (+0.32%) also the one with the best past return and will probably remain so in the future.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One approach could be to take the US weighting and overlaps into account in the ETF weighting of the portfolio and implement it as follows, for example:

$TDIV (-0.02%) 40%

$GGRP (+0.48%) 30%

$FGEQ (+0.27%) 15%

$FUSD (+0.32%) 15%

If the ETFs were weighted in this way, the following allocations would result:

Countries/Regions:

USA 56.4%

Canada 4.4%

Europe 33.2%

Asia 5.4%

Top 10 weighting:

$MSFT (+0.17%) 3%

$AAPL (+0.42%) 3%

$VZ (+0.33%) 2,3%

$CVX (+0.54%) 2,1%

$ROG (+1.2%) 2%

$NVDA (+0.08%) 1,9%

$PFE (+0.38%) 1,7%

$HSBA (-0.49%) 1,6%

$IBM (+0.53%) 1,4%

$AVGO (+0.26%) 1,4%

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think of this allocation example? Do you have any suggestions for improvement or comments?

First purchase from Verizon

EUR 168 bn market cap

Verizon is a major player in the global telecommunications industry. The company plays a critical role in providing communications services to millions of customers (primarily) in the United States.

The ongoing expansion into new technologies and developments, such as 5G and IoT, makes Verizon an important player in this sector.

Verizon's core businesses:

Landline: In addition to wireless, Verizon also offers landline services, including Internet, television and telephony.

Enterprise customersVerizon is a major provider of communications solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Since I'm the dividend daddy, I used the reset to increase my position. This is not about performance, but about a reliable, decent dividend. The figures were really not as bad as the 6% setback today suggests.

what about you?

Opinion on the purchase?

T-Mobile ($TMUS (+0.51%) ) and Verizon ($VZ (+0.33%) ) are, according to WSJ are in talks to split up U.S. Cellularone of the last major regional wireless providers in the US. The potential separate transactions are intended to give both buyers access to valuable radio frequencies spectrum.

Hello 🙋‍♂️ How do you handle the following problem? I would like to $SHEL (+0.39%) and $VZ (+0.33%) (if a suitable opportunity arises) into my securities account, which is not the problem, but I would like to save them subsequently with a savings plan, which is not possible :/ this does not work with my broker ...

Do you have a second broker for such circumstances or how do you handle this?
