In late March 2025, I decided to embark on my journey along the winding paths of investing. And as a novice investor, I started with a sector I was familiar with: insurance.

For that reason, about 75% of my portfolio is in that sector.

My biggest bet right now is on $2318 (-0,6 %) a solid company affected by circumstances beyond its control. I $MAP (+1,76 %) I have a special fondness for it, and along with $ALV (-0,03 %) stabilizing factors. $G (+0,39 %) It underpins the portfolio and stabilizes it. $PHNX (+1,9 %) It pays generous dividends without harming its business and $SBRE (-1,38 %) has tremendous potential, with a unique business model.

Most are companies from Continental Europe, two are British, and one is Chinese. The first four are general insurance companies with a strong focus on property and casualty insurance. Phoenix Group focuses on life insurance, and Sabre on premium auto insurance with a strong motorcycle underwriting presence.

Outside of insurance, an ETF in the defense and security sector such as $IVDF (+0,64 %) as well as the Spanish company $AMP (-4,71 %) , which is also closely tied to defense and security and has emerged from a difficult situation and is now on the right track.

My plan? To invest around €50 per week in these stocks through a dynamic investment plan on Trade Republic. Each week, I’ll adjust the portion of my investment allocated to each position based on its performance.

We’ll see how it goes!
