$SAP (+0,45 %) What's going on here? Did something happen today?

Step by step upwards! With an all-time high in passive income, the foundation for financial freedom is rock solid. 📈🏰

May proved how important stability is. Just like the historic walls of Albrechtsburg Castle in Meissen, which I visited, my portfolio is in a solid position after the recent rollercoaster ride, with the overall portfolio recording a solid gain of 2.42%.

On the markets, AI continues to drive tech stocks, while $CSCO (-0,81 %) the strong old economy backbone.

The 397 steps of the Spitzhaus staircase in Radebeul near Dresden are a perfect symbol of wealth accumulation. It takes perseverance and consistency. But investors are rewarded with a steadily increasing cash flow. Time for a look back!

Performance & volume

The merry month of May had little impact on my tops and flops. They all moved a little, but hardly with recognizable strong trends. It is rather stocks from the solid middle that stand out with a stronger positive development, such as $CSCO (-0,81 %) , $QCOM (+5,14 %) or $TXN (+1,63 %) . All tech somewhere, but not the tech that we all think of first and foremost.

My problem children remain problem children, but they are all improving somehow. We are reducing the minus, especially with $NKE (-1,67 %) ; $CPB (+0,2 %) , $NOVO B (+0,21 %) and $DHR (-0,22 %) . I cannot see any clear reason other than a general recovery.

Sector allocation of my individual stocks

My top 6 sectors are:

Consumer goods: 16.30% (previous month: 17.62%)

Technology: 16.09% [excluding information technology] (previous month: 16.60%)

Miscellaneous: 15.56 % (previous month: 16.60 %)

Financial sector: 11.30% (previous month: 11.39%)

Transportation: 9.67% (previous month: 9.13%)

Trade: 8.18 % (previous month: 7.50 %)

Asset allocation

Equities and ETFs currently determine my asset allocation, with ETFs growing steadily in recent months, which may be due to additional purchases.

ETFs: 43.4 % (previous month: 42.8 %)

Equities: 56.6 % (previous month: 57.2 %)

Investments and additional purchases

I have invested the following sums in savings plans:

Planned savings plan amount from the fixed net salary: € 1,080

Savings ratio of savings plans to fixed net salary: 50.60

Planned savings plan amount from the fixed net salary, incl. reinvested dividends according to plan size: € 1,200

In addition, there were the following additional investments from returns, refunds, cashback, etc. as one-off savings plans/repurchases:

Subsequent purchases/one-off savings plans as cashback annuities from refunds: € 0.00

Subsequent purchases/one-off savings plans as cashback annuities from bonuses: € 0.00

Subsequent purchases from other surpluses: € 185.21

Automatically reinvested dividends by the broker: € 5.47 (Function is only activated for an old custody account, as I otherwise prefer to control the reinvestment myself)

Number of unscheduled additional purchases: 5

Passive income from dividends and ETF distributions

Passive income in the month under review

I received € 272.14 in dividends and ETF distributions in the month under review (€ 163.38 in the same month of the previous year). This corresponds to a change of +66.57 % compared to the same month of the previous year.

Number of dividend payments and ETF distributions: 28

Number of payment days: 15 days

Average dividend per payment: € 9.72

average dividend per payment day: € 18.14

Passive income YTD

YTD I have received distributions in the amount of € 914.50. If you put this in relation to my annual dividend target of € 2,100, the target achievement of the distribution is 43.5 % (target 41.7 %). This means that after several months I am now back above the target, which also shows that we are now facing stronger months again.

The three calculation methods result in the following distribution yields:

YTD distribution yields: 0.98 %

Distribution yields since inception: 4.97 %

Distribution yields YoY: 2.31 %

The distribution yield YoY increased by 0.93%, while the relative fluctuation was 29.54%. This shows that the distribution is growing slightly, but nevertheless from a lower momentum, as the relative fluctuation was always lower in the previous months. We are therefore dealing with a surge, which traditionally characterizes May for me.

My top payers

The top 6 payers in the month under review were:

$VNA (+2,06 %)

$DHL (-0,37 %)

$IMEU (+0,01 %)

$IWDP (+0,8 %)

$HTGC (+0,37 %)

$SAP (+0,45 %)

FIRE Number & Runway

Even though I don't want to sell shares later, I also calculate my FIRE number for comparability with investors who run an exclusively accumulating strategy.

My FIRE figure based on my 12-month spending (TTM) of €12,219.62 was €305,490.50 (previous month: €303,921.50).

That's the minimum amount my portfolio would need to reach to theoretically cover the expenses via a 4% withdrawal. And this figure has risen slightly.

Of course, this figure fluctuates every month. But it's not the only metric to determine how long my assets could support me in an emergency (without taking taxes into account).

The rolling spending range (runway) expresses how long I could live off my assets.

On an annual basis, this is currently 8.16 years (previous month 7.92 years). Compared to the previous month, it has fallen by 0.24 years increased. So I am effectively about quarter of a year more "free" due to the recovery from the current global political events.

Compared to the same month last year, this is an increase of 2.33 years years. I am still 16.84 years away from my runway target (25 years), which corresponds to the FIRE multiplier. 16.84 years away. So there is still a long way to go to financial freedom, assuming that everything continues as before.

The runway stability of 97.49% indicates that my system is solid despite the market turbulence. The proximity to 100% proves that the core of my strategy remains unaffected by the market.

Performance comparison: portfolio vs. benchmarks

To see where I really stand, I regularly compare my portfolio with the major market ETFs. This allows me to see immediately how well my performance (TTWROR) has done in the current month and since the start compared to the overall market.

My portfolio: +2.42 %

$VWRL: +5,97 %

$VUSA: +6.43 %

$IQQY: +3.22 %

I am lagging behind...

Risk figures

Here are my risk figures for the month under review:

Maximum drawdown:

In the month under review: 0.78

since start: 17.17 %

Maximum drawdown duration:

In the month under review: 8 days

since start: 702 days

Volatility:

In the month under review: 2.07

since inception: 28.74 %

Sharpe Ratio:

In the month under review: 13.77

since inception: 0.43

Semi-volatility:

In the month under review: 1.28

since inception: 21.31 %

The maximum drawdown in May of just 0.78 % shows that the dust has settled. While the previous months were still characterized by corrections, the impact in May remains minimal. The Sharpe ratio of a strong 13.77 underlines the excellent risk-adjusted performance in this growth phase.

With a volatility of 2.07% and a semi-volatility of 1.28%, the fluctuations are far below the historical average. This confirms once again that my system is stable. While the long-term values hardly move, I use the calm for my foundation. The focus remains on cash flow, while the risks remain absolutely controlled.

Outlook

I look back on the merry month of May with real satisfaction. Fresh capital flowed directly into the market, the foundation for passive income continues to grow and May delivered a new all-time high: EUR 272.14 in dividends and distributions show in black and white that perseverance pays off.

Privately, May was a real month of pleasure. The trips to Albrechtsburg Castle in Meissen and Wackerbarth Castle, including the Spitzhaustreppe in Radebeul near Dresden, were absolute highlights. The 397 steps of the Spitzhaustreppe made me realize something that I have long known from investing: it always goes up step by step. My running sessions and workouts are now so automated that my strength and endurance grow almost automatically, without any motivational debates.

I conclude this review with real serenity. When the foundation is right and the habits are in place, the market noise loses all its terror. If you build your foundation like a castle, you will not be distracted by any wind.

Thank you for reading. Onwards to June and upwards step by step! 🚀

Please pay close attention to the spelling of my alias. Unfortunately, there are too many fake and phishing accounts on social media. I have already been "copied" several times.

Since the target zone of $CPRX (+0 %) has been reached, I have now sold the shares and will reinvest the money in $SAP (+0,45 %) as, in my opinion, there is a good opportunity there and the market is certainly "taking the software too hard".

Thanks again to @Aktienhauptmeister for the 260 euros haha <3

After a long time of active trading and many reallocations, I would like to share my current portfolio transparently with you and deliberately collect feedback / discussions from the community :) (so ready for a qualified roast)

I originally come from the "active" corner with many certificates, warrants and tactical trades - some very successful, some with total losses. Over time, I've realized that although you can land some strong individual hits, the long-term capital allocation and structure of the portfolio is ultimately decisive.

I am therefore currently trying to realign my portfolio:

On the one hand, to continue to take advantage of opportunities for above-average returns, but on the other hand to finally build up a stable ETF/fund base.

My basic assumptions about the market at the moment:

• Many large tech stocks still look ambitiously valued or overheated to me
• In the medium term, I expect rotation rather than a linear "everything continues to rise" trend

That's why my portfolio currently looks a little unusual:

• large positions as a basis in AI & biotech funds, which currently have paused savings plans (due to overheating) ($KJGJC0 (+1,21 %) & $DWWD (+0,14 %) )
• plus turnaround bets such as Nike or Pernod Ricard (many repeat purchases, now a bit of a stomach ache) ($NKE (-1,67 %) / $RI (-0,02 %) )
• Macro/future themes such as copper, rare earths or quantum computing (under construction) ($ARU (+5,69 %) , $COPA (+2,81 %) , $QNTM (+1,49 %) , $WSML (+1,69 %) )
• and occasionally leveraged products and software stocks ($MSFT (-0,15 %) , $SAP (+0,45 %) , $NOW (-1,4 %) , $MC (+2,92 %) ,...)

My goal now is to build up the whole thing in a cleaner and more structured way and finally set my sights on the 100k.

I have about €2,000 per month available to invest and would like to use it to

• build up a strong ETF/fund base
• but at the same time consciously make individual high-conviction bets
• and significantly scale my portfolio in the long term

What suggestions / recommendations do you have for me with regard to further ETFs or individual positions?

I am also happy to receive critical feedback or counterarguments to my theses. That's exactly why I'm sharing the portfolio here 🙂

After my entry with the 1st tranche at $BRK.B (+0,61 %) I wanted to add a bit of Europe to the portfolio and opened up my next long Satelite and also placed the 1st tranche here - welcome $SAP (+0,45 %) .

With the aim of further reducing the cash position and this favorable purchase price, you can only get weak...

Everyone hates $NOW (-1,4 %) but also everyone hates $SAP (+0,45 %) .

Trance 2/3

$WKL (-0,29 %)

The figures weren't actually that bad, but the share price has been falling by double digits every quarter for about a year now. Today it's also going down again without any apparent reason. Yes, SaaS apocalypse and all that.

GetQuinn says my total return is about -70%.

In the meantime, I'm thinking about simply putting the few bucks left over from my investment into an ETF, e.g. the $TDIV (+0,42 %) . even if a bottom were reached at some point, I hardly believe that the share would outperform this ETF or any other, for example. what do you think? Keep holding or get out and into an ETF?

I am also thinking about something similar with $SAP (+0,45 %) .
