Hi everyone,

What do you think of my portfolio? First, a little background info:

About me: I’m in my mid-30s and have been actively trading on the stock market for over 12 years now. So I’ve experienced several market booms and crashes from an investor’s perspective :D

About the portfolio: I follow a core-satellite strategy with additional “income satellites.” The income satellites are used to generate income with the goal of creating a monthly cash flow, which I mainly use for additional purchases to keep the portfolio balanced.

Core: $XDWD (+0,57%) World ETF, $IMEU (+0,8%) EU ETF, $XMME (+1,19%) Emerging Markets ETF, $TDIV (+0,43%) VanEck TDIV

Satellites: $NVDA (+1,09%) NVIDIA, $MSFT (+0,62%) Microsoft, $GOOGL (+1,16%) Alphabet, $AMZN (+0,95%) Amazon, $HO (-0,53%) Thales // NVIDIA and Alphabet are currently being built up. The positions will both be doubled.

Income satellites: $D05 (-0,31%) DBS Group Holding, $KO (-0,64%) Coca-Cola, $BATS (-0,05%) BATs, $O (+0,98%) Realty Income, $VICI (-0,49%) VICI Properties

Others: Small positions for shorting and speculation. (Amgen, Vertex, SpaceX, BTC, Ethereum, ...)

Feel free to share your thoughts :)

Hello everyone,

What do you think of the following investment strategy?

Global core (30% portfolio share)

$XDWD (+0,57%) Xtrackers MSCI World UCITS

Europe share (15% portfolio share)

$SMEA (+0,84%) iShares Core MSCI Europe ETF

Emerging markets (10% portfolio share)

$XMME (+1,19%) Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ETF

Distributions (15% of the portfolio)

$TDIV (+0,43%) VanEck Morningstar DM Dividend Leaders ETF

The remaining 30% consists of 20% individual stocks (old market / tech) and 10% cash reserve.

Strategy: Growth focus with a small dividend component to generate additional capital for new investments, speculation and additional purchases while at the same time realizing the tax-free allowance.

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, at the beginning of the Iran war, I reorganized my portfolio to make it easier for myself overall.

I sold my individual stock positions with profits and have now switched my portfolio to an ETF structure. I simply want to build up assets for my family for the future without extreme risk and away from conventional call money/accounts. Dividends are not intended as income but rather as annual vacation money for the family to enjoy.

I am currently looking for additions to my ETF positions. Currently led by $XDWD (+0,57%) , $ISPA (+0,04%) , $LDGL (+1%) , $EIMI (+1,17%) , $D6RR (+1,06%) I am quite satisfied. All are saved with a total monthly savings plan of EUR 850.

The EM position will also be increased again with the next special payment and price correction in order to further increase the emerging markets.

Which ETFs would be useful to include in my portfolio? Do you have any ideas? I would like both accumulating and distributing.

I am currently thinking of small caps ?

Please do not include the business shares/ Uni Global positions, as these positions are VL and employer shares with 7% dividends.

Best regards

Dear getquin community,

I've been quietly reading along here for some time now and have really taken a lot from many of the posts. I am now facing a major decision myself and am really hoping for your opinions and experiences.

Briefly about me and my situation: I am in my mid-20s and have been investing privately for around ten years. Up to now, I have mainly bought individual shares or commodity ETCs when the right opportunities arose and held them for the long term. During my studies, investing was rather irregular, but this was perfectly sufficient for my goals at the time.

For some years now, I have been running a small company in the e-commerce sector together with a colleague. In the meantime, profits have accumulated there, most of which are currently sitting unused in accounts and losing value due to inflation. This is exactly what I want to change now.

My aim is to invest this capital sensibly in order to maintain purchasing power and, in the best case, achieve a solid return. To start with, we would like to invest around 200,000 euros.

My thoughts on the allocation so far are as follows:

• 30% in $XMME (+1,19%) (Emerging Markets ETF)
• 30% in $XDWD (+0,57%) (MSCI World)
• 20% in $XAD6 (-1,07%) (Physical Silver ETC)
• 20% in $XAD1 (-0,73%) (Physical Gold ETC)

As I have no experience with larger one-off investments within short periods of time, I would be very pleased to receive your feedback. I am particularly interested in the following points:

• What do you think of the basic allocation?
• Would you rather invest everything at once or take a staggered approach?
• Do you think a proportion of gold or silver makes sense at the current price level?

I would be grateful for any advice, criticism or suggestions for improvement. Thank you very much in advance for your time and input.

Love Grüße✌🏻

Hello everyone,

I have been following this forum for some time now and have decided to present my experiments and current strategies.

On the one hand, because I want to avoid losing track of things, and on the other hand, to prepare my thoughts for myself and also to get other perspectives and opinions.

Briefly about myself

I am 22 years old and graduated last year with a Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Technology.

I am currently working in a medium-sized company in the energy industry in Germany.

I have been rather frugal with money since I was a child. As I got older, my interest in increasing money wisely grew.

I was also lucky that my uncle opened a junior custody account for me when I was born. As a result, at the age of 18 I already had a small starting portfolio worth around 3,000 euros.

At the beginning, I focused intensively on precious metals and also invested in them. I don't plan to touch these holdings in the long term. If I don't need them, I see them more as a legacy for the next generation. I will buy more from time to time.

Basic start

As a first step, and I am aware that this will be assessed differently, I have taken out a unit-linked pension plan with the savings bank, which I save 150 euros per month.

I also took out a building society savings plan, as I basically want to buy my own home in the long term. I am currently renting.

The building society saver is also 150 euros per month per month.

At the same time, I have been working with neobrokers, from which my current portfolio has gradually developed.

Yes, there are still quite a few stocks in it at the moment. I will probably clean that up in the long term.

1st approach, accumulating ETFs

My first approach was to invest in classic accumulating ETFs.

• World, $XDWD (+0,57%)
• Emerging markets, $EIMI (+1,17%)
• AI and big data, $XAIX (+0,63%)

Smaller side bets were added later.

• Armaments, $DFEN (-0,31%)
• uranium, $U3O8 (+1,5%)
• batteries, $BATG (+1,55%)

I also bought my first individual shares to gain experience. Among other things, I had success with $RHM (+1,07%) . At the same time, I learned how quickly losses can occur if you are not sufficiently diversified, for example with $ABR (-1,02%) ,$1SXP (+0,21%) and other stocks.

This ultimately led me to my second approach.

2nd approach, dividend strategy

As I already have a pension plan through LBS and don't want to be the richest man in the cemetery, I focused more on a dividend strategy.

The first attempt consisted of the following combination

• $ISPA (+0,04%)
• $VHYL (+0,55%)
• $ZPRG (+0,8%)

The idea came from a business magazine and was aimed at making monthly distributions as even as possible. I also added $QYLE (-0,08%) to gain initial experience with option strategies.

However, as this combination is only diversified to a limited extent and I deliberately wanted to move away from the USA, I adapted my strategy further.

Current strategy

Fixed savings rates

• LBS, retirement provision, 150 euros per month
• Building society, residual debt for future home ownership, 150 euros per month

Dividend strategy with 115.24 euros per month

• $XDWL (+0,64%) , 34 percent
• $IEEM (+1,06%) , 26 percent
• $XAIX (+0,63%) , 13 percent
• $EXSH (+0,27%) , 26 percent

Side bets with 81 euros per month

• $DFEN (-0,31%) , 62 percent
• $BATG (+1,55%) , 10 percent
• $QYLE (-0,08%) , 25 percent

Trading 212 experiment with 100 euros per month

Here I am pursuing the goal of bundling individual shares in a common pot, partially saving them and automatically reinvesting distributions in order to benefit from the compound interest effect in the long term.

I welcome tips and constructive criticism so that I can continue to improve my strategy.

Best regards

Mister Kimo

"It's very nice to see you again! It's been many years. Since your re-election, we have spoken on the phone three times, exchanged several letters and stayed in close contact."

"Given our different national circumstances, we don't always see eye to eye. It's normal for there to be friction between the world's two leading economies."

"In the face of winds, waves and challenges, you and I, who are at the helm of Sino-US relations, should stay the right course and ensure the steady progress of these relations."

Chinese President Xi Jinping declares President Trump the PEACE PRESIDENT of the whole world!

"Mr. President, you care deeply about world peace! You are deeply committed to resolving regional conflicts. I greatly appreciate your significant contribution to the ceasefire in Gaza."
