Deposit of a 19 year old prospective bank clerk

Hello everyone,

After more than a year, it's time to present my portfolio again, as a lot has changed.


I am clearly pursuing a buy-and-hold strategy with quality stocks. As a core I currently have the $GGRP (-0,38 %)and the $IWDA (+0,01 %) . The $GGRP (-0,38 %) will soon leave my portfolio and half of it will be reallocated to the $IWDA and the $XDEM (+0,29 %) will be reallocated. This is simply because I think it's a good idea to have an ETF in my more growth-oriented portfolio that doesn't just have dividend payers in its line-up.


I find the $XDEM (+0,29 %) in particular, as it focuses exclusively on stocks that have performed well recently. The fact that the excess return naturally drives up volatility somewhat is perfectly okay, as my investment horizon is at least 20 years.


Otherwise, another 57% of my portfolio consists of individual shares. My plan has actually always been a 50/50 ratio, but this has changed somewhat due to the strong equity returns. However, the ETF positions will soon be filled with around 600 euros of my training income. This should then level out a little better, as long as shares don't continue to rise enormously.


If you take a closer look at the shares, I think the strong focus on the classic ETF drivers such as $NVDA (+0,55 %) , $MSFT (-1,05 %) , $GOOG (+0,07 %) and $AMZN (+3,16 %) stand out. Of course, the ETFs in the portfolio increase the proportion of these stocks, but that is absolutely intentional. I remain very optimistic about the AI runners and see further growth and sufficient stability in the coming years.


I always find the following particularly noteworthy $EUZ (-0,95 %) . It is the only German company in my portfolio. I am very confident in the long term and am excited to see how they will develop. Unfortunately, my $MC (+0,53 %) position should also be mentioned. Well, bad luck and I didn't have the courage to sell when the downward trend was clear. But at least I can now offset the taxes from the $GGRP (-0,38 %)-sale by selling the LVMH position and then buying it again immediately. As soon as the luxury segment improves again, I am sure that LVMH will be back at the top of the industry.


The bottom part of my portfolio currently consists of $MCD (+2,28 %) and $MDLZ (-1,59 %) among others. Due to the strong returns of the other shares, these two positions have become somewhat unimportant in my portfolio. At around 2% each, they have simply become too small for me, which is why I will be merging them. However, not again in a stable share with a dividend, but rather in a growth driver. I am currently watching $ANET (+1,79 %) and am pretty convinced. The restructuring will probably soon lead to a EUR 4,000 position in Arista and free up another EUR 2,000 for the ETFs.


That should be all. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, otherwise I'm very happy to receive your feedback :)


(A little info: The sum of the deposit comes from my grandfather's inheritance. The ETF shares I bought early on were bought by my father, as I was of course too young. Then I got involved with shares and was allowed to have more and more of a say. I currently make my own decisions about the portfolio)

Keep up the good work! Even I or older shareholders can still learn something from you. Respect :)

You cannot offset losses with ETFs against gains from individual shares. These are two different loss pots ;-)

Otherwise, great portfolio for your age. Having the starting cushion is a privilege and as you write about it, you will continue with joy, motivation and discipline.

Just compare $GGRP with $XDEM only in terms of returns. Since 2022, the Momentum has generated around twice the return. This is accompanied by a volatility of around 1.5 times.

@MoneyISnotREAL I'll probably have to find out more🫣 Thank you :)

@MoneyISnotREAL That's exactly what I find so exciting about $XDEM. Momentum has been outperforming the normal MSCI World Index for many years. Certainly very exciting in the long term :)
@Lewi It would certainly be interesting to see how things behave in crises such as 2008 (financial crisis).

I wouldn't use it as a core, more as a supplement/satellite.

@Lewi As an additional thought. If you are currently earning below the basic tax-free allowance, you can apply for / consider the "non-assessment certificate" for your custody account.

@MoneyISnotREAL I'm starting my apprenticeship next month and earn around 1300 gross. I've just checked and unfortunately I think I'm above the basic tax-free amount🥲 But thanks for the info, I didn't know about the certificate until now :(

Did you get your hands on shares such as Microsoft very cheaply a year ago?
I've only been invested since May 25, it would be interesting to know. This year everything feels like it's stalling or falling due to Trump's nonsense

@bull_investor_1998 I bought most of the big tech stocks in 2023, when there were really good entry opportunities. Only Nvidia has been brand new for a few months and I bought Alphabet a few times. So it's all been going on for a bit :) I still think $GOOG is very cheap at the moment, you should take a look at it if you still have enough cash reserves👍

@bull_investor_1998 I just saw that Alphabet is already your largest position. You did everything right ;)
@Lewi Thank you for your answer. I am also invested in Big Tech shares but currently only have a position of around €10,000 as I don't have a lot of money available each month as a student. But that will finally change in six months' time.
I think as soon as you can invest €2/3,000 once a month, everything will grow much faster. To be honest, I'm a bit ambivalent at the moment as I've only been investing since March this year and Trump has caused everything to stall but also offers opportunities. But since I'm thinking long-term, it's all not so bad. Even if you have inherited a large part of it, you have to have this interest in shares at your age and be able to make these smart decisions. At your age (I'm 30 now), I was thinking more about partying, parties and girls, so you have all my respect for cars 🤓 I've spent 10-15,000 euros on vacations alone, but I don't see that as a loss - these are memories that no one can take away from you.
I also wanted to "live" during my studies. Everyone sets their priorities differently.
I wish you continued success! :)
