After sharing my portfolio last year, here is a small update.
Private:
- 29 years old & engineer
I'm doing very well professionally, I'm working on exciting projects and my work takes me all over the world.
I'm also doing well financially, I can save about 30% of my net salary every month, although I spend a lot of money on vacations and eating out.
Year-to-date depot:
Basically, things actually went quite well during this period, even though recent events have of course also caused me to suffer major losses. However, there is still a (small) gain for the year. Some shares have performed very well, but some have not; as it goes with shares.
Strategy:
Not much has actually changed in terms of the positioning. I currently only invest in 2 ETFs and Visa as a single share with a total of around €1000 per month.
I believe that this is the best way for me in the long term, partly because I don't have the time to deal with individual shares. That's what experience has shown me so far ;) I will still sell some positions, especially smaller gambles that of course didn't work out. BASF is being saved as part of the employee program, and I'm already achieving a solid return here, even if the share price moves sideways. Unfortunately, this is difficult to capture in GetQuin.
Outlook:
I will continue to save primarily in ETFs, as I have an investment horizon of around 30 years. I want to be able to decide at the age of 60 whether I want to continue working or retire. I don't need to take any additional risks and can live well with 5-8% p.a. A few individual stocks will be added in the future, but I'm aiming for the following balance: ETF (65)/ BASF (10) / individual stocks (20) / crypto (5). Despite the current uncertainties, I'm staying cool - I won't need the money in the foreseeable future anyway.
Please let me know what you think, I really appreciate the Getquin community.
