On July 1, the second rebalancing of my Wikifolio took place—a rule-based portfolio with 30 equally weighted positions that has been running since March 13. Nine positions out, nine in. I had expected this to shift the structure. When I checked the numbers, almost everything was the same as before.
A quick note on how it works
A Python scanner evaluates approximately 845 stocks from 14 indices daily based on six factors. Those that make it into the top 25 are purchased. Those that fall below rank 40 are removed. Quarterly adjustments, no sector allocation, no discretion.
What was dropped:
New additions:
The interesting part
Micron $MU (+0,63%) stayed in the portfolio, up over 100 percent. The score held, and the ranking remained higher. A system that sells based on profit would have kicked Micron out first. The model treated these three big winners completely differently because it doesn’t know the purchase price at all.
And on the other hand:
SanDisk $SNDK (+5,95%) was added that same evening, at 1,820 euros. The stock had already been on the buy list in April but wasn’t tradable at the time. Today, the position is down about 50 percent. The timing could hardly have been worse.
The sector breakdown before and after
Technology fell from 30 to 23.3 percent, financials rose from 36.7 to 40. Materials remained at 16.7.
A factor model does not distinguish between sectors. It sorts by score, and stocks in the same sector often receive similar scores because they are influenced by the same drivers. If one falls below rank 40, there is a high probability that another from the same sector is ready to take its place in the top 25. The model captures gains and returns to the same sector, just with different names.
My Conclusion
One quarter doesn’t prove anything. I don’t have a sector cap in the model because my backtest doesn’t have one either.
Next rebalancing: October 1.
Who among you uses a rule-based approach and has a sector cap in place?
I’m curious to know what percentage cap you use.
Hi there, community! 🚀
While many investors are desperately searching for the next hot stock, we’ve unearthed a Swedish powerhouse for the defensive A-side of our portfolio.
Imagine a stock that’s basically like a hand-picked Scandinavian quality ETF , has outperformed the market for over 100 years, is led by Northern Europe’s most powerful financial dynasty, and has outperformed even Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and the S&P 500 over the past 5 years.
Since the chart for GQ is distorted by the stock split, you’ll find a chart below comparing it to the S&P 500 and others.
That’s exactly what Investor AB $INVE A (-0,09%)
.
The stock $INVE B (-1,25%) is exactly the same, except that the voting rights here are 1:10.
Let’s fire up the engine room and lay this Scandinavian money-printing machine on the dissection table, following our 15-point template exactly:
Investor AB ISIN: SE0015811955 ~€38.21 / 440.00 SEK
1. What the company does & how it came to be
The origins: Investor AB was founded as early as 1916 by the legendary Swedish industrialist family Wallenberg as far back as 1916. The family’s philosophy has been the same for generations: “Esse non videri” (To be, not to seem). The Wallenbergs have shaped the Scandinavian economy for over a century.
The Business Model – The Ultimate Scandinavian Compounder:
Investor AB is an investment holding company that allocates its capital across three highly profitable pillars:

3. Core Quality Formula (Revenue Growth + Margin)
Our target score for solid investments is > 25.
4. Cash Flow Quality Formula
5. Dividend Filter (Income-Core)
6. Exclusion Rule Check
Does any of our exclusion rules apply? Not at all!
7. Future and Industry Outlook
The mix of automation (Atlas Copco, ABB), healthcare (AstraZeneca, Mölnlycke), digitalization (Nasdaq, EQT), and mining (Epiroc) addresses the most important megatrends of the coming decades.
Through the Wallenbergs’ active management, $INVE A (-0,09%) , underperforming holdings are consistently restructured and investments in future-oriented sectors are increased.
8. Competition
Compared to other Scandinavian holding companies (such as Latour, Kinnevik, or Indutrade) and global holding companies, its visual superiority is evident:

Zone 1 (Direct Purchase / First Tranche):
Zone 2 (First Dip / EMA 50 Support):
Zone 3 (Bargain Hunter / EMA 200 Support):
12. Future Viability
With over 100 years of success, deep roots in Scandinavian industry, and access to exclusive private equity deals through EQT, Investor AB is one of Europe’s most future-proof companies.
13. Potential Alternatives
Those looking for similar investment strategies will find them at $BRK.A (-1,21%)
Berkshire Hathaway (U.S.), $DHR (-1,03%)
Danaher (U.S.) or $MC (-0,05%)

15. RaketenToni’s Conclusion & Risk Disclosure
Investor AB $INVE A (-0,09%) is the ultimate A-share stock!
If you don’t want to deal with the complexities of individual stock risks but still want to outperform the broader market, Investor AB gives you a Scandinavian super-ETF disguised as an individual stock to your portfolio. I’ve already done it!
A P/E ratio under 5, a 27% ROCE, and a 5-year performance that puts Berkshire Hathaway in the shade make this stock a must-have for any long-term wealth-building strategy.
An absolute top-tier compounder for the next 20 years!
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts :)
Greetings from Denmark
Yours, Raketentoni
and, of course, everyone else :)

| Forward P/E (2026e) | N/A | Estimates pending

| Year | EPS (SEK) | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 74.41 | +332% vs. 2020 |

| 2024 | 122 | ~69%
| 2025 (Q1 2026 basis) | 165 | ~74%
The high EBIT margins (70–87%) are attributable to the company’s nature as a holding company: “Revenue” consists largely of investment income and dividend inflows from its portfolio companies [6]. In Q1 2026, adjusted NAV rose by 3% to SEK 1,125 billion
***
## 4. Dividend

***
## Overall Rating: *
*Fairly valued with upside potential**
Investor AB is one of Europe’s highest-quality holding companies with an excellent track record. Its portfolio of global corporations (ABB, AstraZeneca, Atlas Copco, etc.) offers broad diversification
The P/E ratio of ~9–10x appears **attractive to fair** given the stable NAV growth (+14% in 2025) and disciplined dividend growth of 8% p.a.
Risks include valuation sensitivity to the overall market as well as rising energy and freight costs, which could have a delayed impact
**Fair value (estimate based on analyst consensus):** approx. **330–415 SEK / ~32–40 EUR** per share [12][13] — at the current price of ~33–34 EUR, we are in the fair range with moderate upside potential.
