My goal is to beat the market, I'm still relatively young and want to see if I can do it, if not I'll put everything in an etf in 5 years.

Regarding my portfolio, I currently have a cash ratio of 23-25% depending on the fluctuations in the last month.

Purchases of existing stocks:

I plan to increase the financial stocks by 50%, $CG (+0,04 %)
$KKR (-1,78 %)
$APO (-1,26 %)
$TPG (-2,15 %) .

In addition, a little $DMP (-1,28 %) by 25%.

Sales:

I made the mistake of wanting to $EVO (+1,01 %) and $CPRX (-1,56 %) trade, but then I was too greedy.

I am convinced of both positions in the long term but not in this size in the portfolio, which is why I will reduce both stocks by 33%.

Potential purchases:

$HALO (-0,99 %)
$CUV (+0,41 %) - Will invest a little extra, otherwise just the 33% from sale of $CPRX. Both around 50 - 50

$SL (-2,93 %) - the same as $TISG (+0 %)

$KSPI (-1,36 %) - about as high as $MUM (-2,76 %)

$FIH.U (+0 %) - about as high as $MUM (-2,76 %)

$2GB (-3,94 %) - about as high as $MUM (-2,76 %)

$M12 (-1,37 %) - about as high as $MUM (-2,76 %)

$CPR (-2,4 %)
$DGE (-1,3 %)
$RI (-3,57 %) - I'll wait and see, but I can imagine that they will develop in a similar way to the tobacco shares. Since I don't want to decide, I'll just buy three for the sum of one. And divide the amount between these 3.

In general:

I'm generally a fan of putting together baskets like with alcohol or the yacht builders.

What would you change because you see a high risk? I am relatively poorly positioned in the tech sector, do you have any other titles that I could take a closer look at in this area?

Over the past five years, Apollo-managed funds have invested approximately $40 billion in energy transition and sustainability investments, supporting clean energy and infrastructure companies and projects, including offshore and onshore wind, solar, storage, renewable fuels, electric vehicles and a wide range of technologies to support decarbonization. Across all asset classes, Apollo aims to invest $50 billion in clean energy and climate investments by 2027 and sees the opportunity to deploy more than $100 billion by 2030.
