Strategy update: Why I include 12% MSCI Europe Momentum as a "midfield turbo"

Hello everyone,

I've taken another look at my portfolio. I currently have a mix of a solid All World (23%) foundation, a strong cash/gold reserve (28%) and some aggressive individual bets such as $IREN (-1,99 %)
$HIMS (-1,11 %) and $LMND (+0,85 %) and $BTC (-0,22 %) .

What I've been missing so far is the "strong midfield" - a component that is less risky than stock-picking but has more power than a standard European index.

My plan: I consistently shift profits from my individual stocks (as soon as they reach +200%) into the iShares MSCI Europe Momentum $IEFM (-0,08 %) . Target weighting: 12 %.

Why exactly this ETF?

Instead of investing in the EuroStoxx 50 $CSSX5E (+0 %) "old industrial dinosaurs", the momentum factor filters out the strongest players in Europe at the moment (e.g. $SIE (+0,33 %)
$SAP (-0,74 %)).

Regional diversification: My portfolio is very US and tech-heavy. With the momentum approach, I get the European elite on board, including Switzerland, the UK and Denmark (which are missing from the EuroStoxx!).

Automatic rebalancing: If trends shift (e.g. from pharma to defense or tech), the ETF adjusts every six months. I don't have to guess which sector will perform next.

The strategy: I use my "high-flyers" as a source. When stocks like $IREN (-1,99 %) or $GOOGL (-0,25 %) reach their targets, I withdraw the stake and park it in the momentum ETF. In this way, I reduce my individual stock risk, but remain offensive in terms of the potential return.

The only watchpoint: Since I $NOVO B (+1,18 %) and $ASML (+0,1 %) as individual stocks, I make sure that the total weighting of these stocks in the ETF does not become a lump (limit: max. 8% per stock).

What do you think of the move? Would it be better to invest broadly in the Stoxx 50 $CSSX5E (+0 %) or 600 $EXSA (+0,04 %) or does the momentum factor make more sense for a growth strategy? 📈
