Bought 25 $JEGP (+0,24 %) because it is at a low.

The other €500 spread by Autoinvest of Saxobank in $VUSA, (-0,26 %)
$IBTS, (-0,05 %)
$EQDS, (+0,7 %)
$VHYL (+0,34 %) and $TDIV (+0,86 %) .

Just added some $EQDS (+0,7 %) to my porfolio via Saxobank autoinvest. Maybe the dividends are to low, 3%/y, but supporting sustainable companies must be a part of investing I think. Yes, I have $SHEL (-0,07 %) and $BATS (+0,77 %) too, so I do my best. 😅

Hi everyone, I'd like your thoughts of the depot at the moment.

First of all, I'm 23 years old and started investing about a year ago. I have a long time horizon and even tho I know some of my positions aren't the best for growth I just love dividend investing so I'm looking for a good mix of both price and dividend appreciation.

Some improvements I'm thinking about:

• Move $FUSD (-0,1 %) into $HMWO (-0,06 %) :

I would like to consolidate the fusd etf into hmwo as it has a better diversification and overall better preformance in terms of dividend growth. I would like to build out the HMWO position to aprox 20% of the portfolio before adding to other etfs.

• $EQDS (+0,7 %) :

As the dividend growth with this one is quite lackluster I will probably sell out of this one in the near future and also swap for HMWO or a stockx600 etf.

• Consolidate some smaller positions like $TUNE (+0 %) into etfs

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi everyone!

I've been investing for almost a year now with a small amount of capital, mostly to get familiar with the world of markets and personal finance. I’m 26, conservative investor, and I’ve always kept my distance from trading, YouTube “gurus” and get-rich-quick schemes.

After some time learning and experimenting, I wanted to share my strategy and hear what more experienced investors think.

🧠 The idea: build a modular portfolio with global exposure. Instead of the usual split between developed and emerging markets, I prefer dividing by region — using two ETFs per region: one accumulating and one distributing.

Why both? Honestly, I’m still figuring it out — but I like the idea of having some exposure to dividends while reinvesting long-term. My goal is to reach €50,000 in savings as a milestone, partly because that’s the cap for earning interest on Trade Republic’s savings account (which I’m also using).

⚙️ I invest monthly (~€700) and aim to rebalance the weights annually. I selected ETFs with low TERs and (when possible) EUR-based to avoid currency conversion. It’s not always easy to find the perfect match, but here’s the setup:

• Europe (40%)

ETF (Acc) --> $SMEA (+0,59 %) | ETF(Dist) --> $EQDS (+0,7 %)

• USA (30%)

ETF (Acc) --> $SPPW (-0,09 %) | ETF(Dist) --> $SPY5 (-0,25 %)

• Emergin Markets (20%)

ETF (Acc) --> $EIMI (-0,32 %) | ETF (Dist) --> $IEEM (-0,3 %)

• Gold + BTC (10%)

ETF --> $SGLD (+0,42 %)

The idea is to split each region’s weight equally between the two ETFs — that is, 50% of the region's allocation to each ETF. This results in a total TER of 0.289%.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions! Still very new to all this, so any insight from more experienced investors would be super helpful 🙌

Thanks for reading! 🚀

I started my investment journey 5 years ago through small single stock purchases and started seriously my ETF journey in 2021. I am 31 years old and have lived in Germany for 3 years. I realized early on that stocks and crypto are not for me as I cannot justify large swings in value easily and it makes me nervous 😅.

So in 2021 I settled for $VWCE (-0,03 %) as my main position, a decision I have not regretted. I also invested in a number of bonds from my home country, which I am now phasing out and converting to ETFs, as I think they are too low risk for my long-term 10+ year strategy. Investing in a second world mutual fund $KRTRP7 was maybe a newbie mistake as well due to a large maintenance fee, but I don't plan to sell this position but just keep it growing.

Since my move to Germany and getting settled with German brokers, I have started taking advantage of the 1000 euros tax free allocation and started investing in $VWRL (-0,07 %)
$GGRP (-0,05 %) and $HMWO (-0,06 %) as a way of getting monthly dividends. I should use the entire allocation next year but still plan to grow these positions, as getting increasing dividends has motivated me to invest even more of my monthly income (currently at 50% as I live alone frugally). $EQDS (+0,7 %) provides solid dividend return but since it's based on European markets, performance has been poor lately. But I still contribute a small percentage each month.

I have read arguments about the disadvantages of dividend-ETFs but I believe a balance of low yield, high performance ETFs is the best compromise.

I currently have one stock $NVDA (+0,69 %) just for fun, and $XAIX (-0,85 %) is also a small percentage of my monthly contributions just because I have faith in this field.

At the moment I reinvest bond coupons and expired bonds into $VWCE (-0,03 %) and my monthly contributions to the dividend ends (weighted by dividend output) and $XAIX (-0,85 %) (5%). I wish to reach financial independence where I can semi-retire in 10 years (in my forties).

What would you do differently in your case? Do you recommend other positions?

$EQDS (+0,7 %) your opinion on this high dividend ETF or high dividend ETFs in general? Is it worth it?
