also bought 2 $VUSA (+2,02%) and 7 $EUE (+2,82%) and sold 5 positions in $NFLX (+2,78%) .

Very happy with all this transactions and on to my first 10 k.

So I just realised that I've been investing for exactly 1 year and 1 week, so I thought this would be a good moment to reflect. I'm 36, the total portfolio size is 50k+ and the money isn't needed in short term. My portfolio summarised:

1. ETF core, 50% at minimum: $VDEV (+1,84%) and $VFEM (+3,31%) , recently added $EUE (+2,82%) as I see more potential in the EU than in the US in the short-medium term. I like how a combination of these 3 ETFs allows for more adaptability than simply putting everything in a world ETF. Plus, the TER is a bit lower.

2. Individual stocks, max 10 positions, only including companies that I understand and have faith in that they will perform well in the next couple of years. The goal is to at least match $IWDA (+2,01%) but preferably to make some additional gains. In summary:

Tech:

$NVDA (+4,74%) : committed after the post-Deepseek dip, will just wait out all the short-term turbulence

$AMZN (+2,9%) : doesn't need additional info.

$ASML (+4,56%) : ditto

$VRT (+6,59%) : see one of my previous posts on GQ. Bit too volatile for me now, but when the AI-hype picks up again, will perform well.

Health:

$NVO (+3,25%) : I have a lot of faith in the GLP1-narrative, stock is very undervalued

$LLY (+2,85%) : same at NVO, got pummeled hard recently but in longer term another good bet in the GLP1-race.

Divident:

$ALV (+2,37%) : popular German insurance company. Divident-wise, I have more faith in insurance companies than banks. Banks also face more headwinds due to fintech.

$ASRNL (+3,03%) : comparable to Allianz, solid, no-nonsense Dutch insurance company.

Bit more speculative:

$NU (+5,25%) : I think fintech has a lot of potential and NU was valued quite cheaply compared to US- or EU-based counterparts. Could benefit from US recession if USD evaluates.

What are your thoughts? What would you add or lose? I'm thinking of adding $GOOG (+4,23%) when the current downtrend subsides. Does make the portfolio more tech-heavy but all companies are internationally oriented (in case of US recession) and should outperform in the longer term.

Thanks in advance!
