My personal year-end closing 2023
Reading time: approx. 5min
The end of the year is approaching and it's time to review the past year. That's why I'd like to share my personal portfolio review for 2023 with you today. I tracked and calculated all the figures with the help of Getquin. Most of the figures have already been provided to me by Getquin (Dashboard --> Performance), some are based on my own calculations. The figures can of course still change by the end of the year and are as of 11.12.2023.
Performance
First of all, of course, what is probably of greatest interest to many: the performance of my portfolio. For those who are not yet familiar with my investment strategy, I focus primarily on dividend stocks that offer high future dividend growth. dividend growth growth in the future. I also include stocks that do not currently pay dividends, but where it seems likely that they will pay dividends in the future.
TTWROR*: +27.7%
Price gains: +16.3%
Dividends: +2.0%
Interest rates: +0.1%
Realized gains: +4.1%
Trading costs: -0.01%

My strongest month was November with +6.9% followed by January with +5.8%. My only two months with a loss were August with just under -2% and September with -0.3%.
Portfolio movements
New purchases:
My focus this year was clearly on improving the quality in the portfolio. The biggest new addition to my portfolio this year was Chipotle $CMG (-4,65 %) which at the same time meant the sale of my positions in Starbucks $SBUX (-6,28 %) and McDonalds $MCD (-4,77 %) at the same time. At the same time, I took larger positions in DEFAMA $DEF and Philipp Morris $PM (-5,99 %) at the same time. Another new addition worth mentioning is Adyen $ADYEN (-5,35 %)which I was able to buy at a low of around €700 per share in October and is currently trading at around €1200 per share again. I am also currently building up a FTSE India ETF position via a savings plan. $FLXI via a savings plan. This explains the current small share in the portfolio.

Chipotle $CMG (-4,65 %) 11.6%

Complete sales:
As mentioned under new purchases, my aim was to further increase the quality of my portfolio. In addition, I bundled my "quick service restaurant" investment in Chipotle, which resulted in the sale of Starbucks and McDonalds. I also divested from the REITs Realty Income $O (-2,42 %) and American Tower $AMT (-2,74 %) and reduced my real estate investments to VICI $VICI (-2,83 %) and DEFAMA $DEF and DEFAMA.

Partial sales:
I decided to reduce my Apple position here a few days ago. At a price of around €180, I already see a lot priced in for the future. Apple is still my third-largest position and I could also imagine buying more if the share price falls. In the meantime, I am pleased with the realized gains of around 370%.
(security | ticker | % sold | profit/loss)
Apple $AAPL (-6,8 %) 35.7% +372.3%
United Health $UNH (-2 %) 13.4% +12.2%
Coca Cola $KO (-3,58 %) 88.1% -0.8%
Portfolio composition
The largest 5 positions in my portfolio make up 54.3% of my portfolio. If I add my cash position and the next 2 companies, I already have over 75% of my portfolio are already covered. My portfolio can therefore be described as a high-conviction portfolio portfolio. I deliberately focus on stocks in which I personally have come to the conclusion that they will outperform the broad equity market in the long term. Of course, this is at the expense of diversification. This can work out well, but of course it doesn't have to.

Conclusion
Personally, I currently feel very comfortable with my portfolio. I currently see no reason to make any major changes and am leaving everything as it is. I am very satisfied with the performance and am already looking forward to the dividend increases in 2024.
