40% individual shares, because I believe that you can beat the market with a portfolio of good companies if you buy and hold their shares stubbornly over the long term and reinvest the dividends. Unfortunately, I think most people don't do that and trade too much, don't let good shares run and that's why many private investors end up with such poor results. See also the average holding period of a share, which is currently a few months.

@Paketknecht That's a good answer to my question, do you also think that when a stock is well up that people realize their profit too "quickly" and find it hard to let the position run?

@spongeboy Yes, good shares are not held long enough and good shares are bought expensively and sold cheaply because people have no patience, but this also affects professionals who simply have to deliver a return.
