• 23 years old
• Focus on quality companies and diversification
• Would like to significantly increase the ETF share in the long term (to approx. 50%)
• Further investments in Asia are planned because I see a lot of potential there in the coming years and think that these countries will also gain political importance
• Watchlist: $2318 (-1,37%)
  $D05 (-0,58%)
  $S68 (+1,42%)
  $J36 (+0,05%)
  $SIE (+0,33%)

As I do every week, I have made new additions to my portfolio following my Dynamic Dollar-Cost Averaging (DAC) strategy through the Trade Republic investment plan. Thus, I continue to apply method and discipline in equal parts to a volatile market, especially in a month of quarterly earnings releases and dividend execution dates.

These have been my purchases for the week:

• $2318 (-1,37%) (5 €): The Chinese insurance sector remains under pressure due to macro uncertainty and the real estate slowdown in China. We took the opportunity to invest in Asia's largest and most technological insurer.
• $SBRE (-1,26%) (19 €): This week they have published results. Analysts were not too pleased with the annual forecast, but they continue to increase market volume and are unique in their niche.
• $AMP (+0,14%) (10 €): continues to move sideways and well below its target value. This month we have learned of the award of new international contracts.
• $PLMR (+0%) (20 €): Maintains the same price as last week, so why not increase in a company in which I believe.
• $ALV (-0,2%) (10 €): It is in a support zone and the company is a bug. We must stick to the plan.

Until June 2!

As every week, I've made new contributions to my portfolio following my Dynamic Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy through Trade Republic's investment plan. This way, I continue applying both method and discipline in a volatile market environment, especially during a month filled with quarterly earnings releases and ex-dividend dates.

These have been my buys this week:

• $2318 (-1,37%) (5 €): The Chinese insurance sector remains under pressure due to macro uncertainty and the ongoing real estate slowdown. A good opportunity to invest in Asia's largest and most tech-driven insurer.

• $SBRE (-1,26%) (19 €): Results were out this week. Analysts weren't too optimistic about the annual guidance, but the company continues to increase market share and stands strong in its niche.

• $AMP (+0,14%) (10 €): The stock remains sideways and well below its target price. This month, they secured new international contracts, which reinforces the company's growth potential.

• $PLMR (+0%) (20 €): Price remains unchanged from last week, so why not increase exposure to a company I believe in.

• $ALV (-0,2%) L (10 €): Trading at a key support area. This company is a beast - no reason to deviate from the plan.

See you on June 2nd!

I have just finalized the configuration of my weekly investment plan and it will be executed tomorrow. Following my dynamic DCA strategy, the winners are:

• $ALV (-0,2%) with 10€, as it enters again at reasonable prices after the dividend distribution.
• 
  $AMP (+0,14%) with €10, as it still faces resistance at €0.16.
• $SBRE (-1,26%) with 5€, although it should be left in Stand by.
• $2318 (-1,37%) with 5€, as it is still far from its resistance.

And we enter a new company insurance company that I love. Tomorrow I will give more details, it is late today.

I have just finalized the setup of my weekly investment plan, which will be executed tomorrow. Following my dynamic DCA strategy, the selected stocks are:

• $ALV (-0,2%) with €10, as it has re-entered reasonable valuation levels following the dividend payout.
• $AMP (+0,14%) with €10, as it is still facing resistance around €0.16.
• $SBRE (-1,26%) with €5, although it should ideally remain on standby.
• $2318 (-1,37%) with €5, as it remains far from its resistance level.

Additionally, we are adding a new insurance company that I'm very excited about. I'll share more details tomorrow since it got late today.

At the end of March 2025, I made the decision to begin my journey through the winding roads of investment. And as a novice investor, I did it hand in hand with a sector familiar to me: insurance.

For that reason, about 75% of my portfolio belongs to the sector.

My strong bet today is $2318 (-1,37%) a solid company affected by circumstances external to its activity. A $MAP (-0,06%) special affection and together with $ALV (-0,2%) stabilizers. $G (+0,33%) It underpins the portfolio and stabilizes it. $PHNX (+1,43%) distributes generous dividends without harming its business, and $SBRE (-1,26%) has a beastly potential, with a unique business.

Mostly Continental European companies, two British and one Chinese. The first four are general insurance companies with a strong focus on Property & Casualty. Phoenix Group is focused on life insurance and Sabre on premium motor insurance with strong underwriting of motorcycles.

Outside of insurance, an ETF in the defense and security sector such as $IVDF (+0,14%) as well as the Spanish $AMP (+0,14%) which is also closely linked to defense and security and has come out of a difficult situation on the right track.

My plan? To invest around 50€ per week in these stocks through a dynamic investment plan in Trade Republic. Each week I will vary the portion of investment I allocate to each position according to its evolution.

We'll see!

I have these two shares, among others, on my watchlist.

What are your opinions on them?

$2318 (-1,37%) - Ping an Insurance is an insurance group in China with a market capitalization of around EUR 110 billion

$1038 (+1,8%) - CK Infrastructure Holdings is a Hong Kong company that invests in infrastructure companies worldwide, including in Germany

Both would fit well into my dividend strategy as solid investments

I have had this company on my watchlist for a long time, now I have started with a small position, further purchases will follow...

Let's see what happens...

The last dividend of $PEP (-0,11%) for the 3rd quarter is also in the vault. Final spurt 2024 can begin.

After my dividends in Q2 (net -9.7%) were somewhat more meagre (reallocations, cuts, postponement to other months), the books show a plus of 37.4% for Q3. I have therefore almost reached the full result for 2023.

My portfolio rocket of the last week is $2318 (-1,37%) (PingAn), my only China investment. My purchase price has not quite been reached again, dividends continue to flow nicely and I remain optimistic.

Building up cash is proving difficult. $NESN (+0,43%)
$TGT (+0,82%) and $MC (+0,01%) were too tempting after all. Let's see what the last few months bring.

Attached is a screenshot of my good old Excel (Numbers) spreadsheet ... from a time before getquin when people still read newspapers 🤓

Subsequent purchase

Hi together,

am considering increasing my position in Ping An Insurance as the valuation and div looks attractive. However, sales and earnings are down, but this could also be due to the difficult environment in China. Anyone here who can better assess the situation and Ping An?
