Xtrackers II Overnight Rate Swap ETF D Forum

Sell a money market ETF at a loss in a high interest rate environment? Can I 🍌

Experience with $XEOD (-0,85 %) ? Does it work without any problems? I'm tired of hopping around for overnight money 😆

What do you think about parking your entire nest egg in the money market (e.g. $XEOD (-0,85 %) )?

Specifically, I don't feel like constantly transferring my nest egg and opening bank accounts.

Is there anyone who handles it this way or is everyone at TR anyway, dusting off the 4% while it still exists?

1 year stock market anniversary🎊

Presenting my portfolio today. I have been investing diligently for a year now. Started reading books at the beginning of last year, then started my own portfolio in April.

Briefly about me, 26 years young, married, 1 child (will be 1 next month), own home (just under 2 hectares of land in a small village, just under 300 square meters of living space)

Over the course of the year, I've worked out a strategy that I can sleep well with.

-10k in $XEOD (-0,85 %) as a substitute for daily allowance. (5 net salaries)

-The remaining 20k are divided as follows:

• 35% $VDEV (+0,53 %)
  
• 30% $IUSA (+0,64 %)
  
• 15% $GGRP (+0,23 %)
• 10% individual shares (should become a maximum of 10 shares over the years)
• 5% $EWG2 (-0,64 %)
  
• 5% $BTC (+0,28 %)
  

Savings plans are currently at 300€.

I am very happy with it and for the first year I have achieved a performance of just under 10% (the $XEOD (-0,85 %) is included). I'm happy with it, especially as the first year was more of a discovery phase for me.

I'm open to constructive criticism!

Hello dear GQ community,

I'm struggling a bit at the moment and would like to get your opinions.

About the portfolio:

- "No-Brainer" $VWCE (+0,51 %) as the main building block

- I like India and think there is great potential there

- Individual stocks have been added to the portfolio without a coherent plan - so currently more of a playground

Investment strategy and target:

Offensive strategy for maximum value growth as a retirement provision and at best for reducing weekly working hours.

I recently opened a larger position in $XEOD (-0,85 %) (see portfolio). I decided to make the move because I distrust the current economic situation (prices are rising and rising despite war, inflation,...) and I didn't dare to put the chunk into individual stocks or the $VWCE (+0,51 %) to pack.

What do you think? I would be very happy to hear any ideas or advice.

Greetings from your earworm

PS: Unfortunately, the dates in the portfolio are not complete, which is why everything starts from 11.2023...

Thanks finanzen.Zero at this point.

33 units are now in the portfolio! Why fixed-term deposits with less interest or UnitPlus with a low payout when it comes to the same thing? 🤷🏼‍♂️

My 6-month overnight money account at ING with 3.5% will expire soon.

I am thinking about shifting part of it into a money market ETF. Does that make sense?

And $XEON (+0,03 %) or $XEOD (-0,85 %) ?

Part of my nest egg is now here.

The ESTR interest rate is now 3.9% p.a.😄

Hello, I turned 18 in June and would now like to make use of the opportunity to invest myself. I have already invested for others several times in the past, when I was not yet able to do so with my own money. In this respect, I have at least already been able to make some minor experiences.

The difference now, however, is that I am currently in the twelfth grade, will graduate from high school next year, and therefore do not yet know exactly how much money I may need for moving, furnishing my apartment, and other expenses. In this respect, my investment horizon is different from that of my mother, for example, for whom I invested some money at the time.

Specifically, I currently have 4700 € in savings, monthly 60 € pocket money.

I have now considered to invest some money already once in $XEOD (-0,85 %) as a cash reserve, but with a better return than many of the call money accounts. The ESTR will remain so for a while with the current inflation and the respective key interest rate.

Since the 4700€ is really not that much, I think that single stocks might not be optimal. As I said, I would like to invest for the long term, but future expenses might require me to liquidate some of the positions.

Since my personal interests are in the tech sector and I would claim to be fairly well informed there for that reason alone, I would also want to invest in the tech sector. Due to the problem of individual stocks with my investment horizon and budget, I am considering using Trade Republic's index certificates.

More specifically, I am thinking of

• Cyber Security DE000SQ4SUT1
• Mobility DE000SQ4SUV7
• Semiconductors DE000SQ4SUW5
• possibly also Big Tech DE000SN8XWV7

In the case of Mobility, however, I am somewhat disturbed by the low weighting of the German automakers compared to a full 10% in the case of $TSLA (+1,2 %) and in the case of $TXN (-2,51 %) the overweighting in my portfolio, as it is included in Mobility, Semiconductors and Big Tech to considerable proportions.

Beyond that, I wonder if that would make me too USA-focused.

I have also never traded this instrument in the past and would like to know from you what there is to consider and especially what speaks against the above mentioned index certificates.

I am aware of the problem that they are not considered special assets and that in case of bankruptcy of the issuer, Société Générale, the investment would not be protected. However, I think that I can neglect this risk, at least currently. As I understand it, this is the biggest disadvantage compared to a corresponding ETF and the elimination of management costs again the advantage.

If you are more in favor of ETFs at this point, which ETFs would you recommend in the sectors mentioned?

Should I invest in individual stocks after all, I would in particular:

• $GOOGL (-1,01 %) , $AAPL (+1,15 %) and $MSFT (+0,97 %) As a big tech foundation with strong products in cloud computing, AI applications, hardware products, VR/AR, gaming, IoT, ...
• $ALV (+0,72 %) , and $KO (+0,3 %) as a dividend payer
• $MC (-0,96 %) To diversify in the fashion and luxury product segment with stable growth
• $ZAL (+0,49 %) as a German company in online retail, where I can say from my own experience that it enjoys great popularity, especially among my generation, whose purchasing power will increase in the future.
• $TSM (-1,94 %) to bring in a chip manufacturer and supplier of other hardware manufacturers besides Apple, in order to also indirectly profit from their growth
• Possibly $BIDU (+0,13 %) as a likewise strongly growing Asian counterpart to $GOOGL (-1,01 %) and $MSFT (+0,97 %) in the areas already mentioned above
• $1211 (+0,46 %) As an automotive supplier and emerging carmaker itself, especially to also benefit from increasing e-car sales.

to be envisaged.

Otherwise, I would also invest about €30 per month in an MSCI World ETF via a savings plan.

What are your thoughts on how I should proceed? I appreciate your feedback and criticism, especially on the questions regarding index certificates.

Thank you very much in advance!

Take advantage of the key interest rate at a cost of only 0.1% p.a. Who does that too?🥳
