From 18-year-old wannabe investment banker to successful private asset manager: my (bumpy) path to €300,000 in a custody account

Part 5 of 5
/ Review of the year 2024: In the first 4 parts

of my investment story, I looked at the years 2013 to 2023.

A mixture of highs and lows. While there was a lot of learning at the beginning, the last few years are finally bearing fruit!


Monthly view:

2024 was another very positive year, although December again resulted in a slight loss in the portfolio.

In total, December was -0,8%. This corresponds to price losses of -3.200€.


The MSCI World (benchmark) was -0.9% and the S&P500 -2.5%.


In the following, however, I would like to look primarily at the whole of 2024 and not

just December.


Year as a whole:

Winners & losers:


The winner par excellence is hardly surprising NVIDIA $NVDA (-1,69%) with

almost €20,000 in share price gains! And this despite the fact that I took my entire stake of ~€4,000 off the table in March.

In 2nd place follows Bitcoin
$BTC (-2,24%) with approx. 6,000€ price gains. 3rd-5th place

are shared by TSMC $TSM (-1,71%)
Alphabet $GOOG (-0,13%) and Meta
$META (-1,25%) with gains of ~€5,000 each.


On the loser side it looks very relaxed all in all.

Sartorius $SRT (-1,62%)
Nike $NKE (-0,97%)

and Bechtle $BC8 (-2,07%) have each caused share price losses of ~€1,000. They are followed by LVMH $MC (-1,33%) with share price losses of €500 and Amgen $AMGN (+0,47%) with €200.

All in all, share price losses that are not really worth mentioning.


The performance-neutral movements in 2024 were just under €20,000. This is a significant decline compared to the almost €30,000 from previous years. This was due to some private issues and the upcoming house construction.


My performance for the year as a whole was +28,8% and therefore outperformed my benchmark, the MSCI World, by 25.8%.


In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~347.000€. This

corresponds to an absolute growth of ~95,000€ in the current

year 2023. ~71.000€ of which comes from price gains, ~3.800€ from

dividends / interest and ~20.000€ from additional investments.


Dividend:

  • The dividends in December were 17% above the previous year at ~€370
  • Amgen is in the lead with over 50€ (gross) dividend every 3 months
  • For the year as a whole, my dividends amounted to ~2.900€ and thus almost 25% over 2023


Buys & sells:


- I bought in December for a significantly reduced ~500€

- As always, my savings plans were executed:

- Blue chips: Lockheed Martin $LMT (+1,09%) Republic Services $RSG (+2,16%) Thermo Fisher $TMO (+0,08%) ASML $ASML (-1,57%) Northrop Grumman $NOC (+2,4%) Itochu $8001 (+1,09%) Constellation Software $CSU (+4,57%) Hermes $RMS Salesforce $CRM (+0,59%) MasterCard $MA (+0,73%) Deere $DE (-0,67%)

- Growth: -

- ETFs: MSCI World $XDWD (+0,27%) and the WisdomTree Global Quality Dividend Growth $GGRP (+0,37%)

- Crypto: Bitcoin $BTC (-2,24%) and Ethereum $ETH (-2,83%)

- There were no further sales in December


Target 2024 & outlook 2025:


My goal for 2024 was to reach €300,000 in the portfolio. Due to the

extremely positive market performance in the current year, my portfolio stands at ~€ 350,000 at the end of the year. I was therefore able to significantly exceed my target.


What will happen in 2025? The logical target, of course, would be 400.000€ to be achieved. However, due to the upcoming house construction, part of the assets will be invested in the house construction. If I include the property in my statement of assets, the target of €400,000 would of course not change.

However, as I am more likely to be tracking my liquid assets here, I will probably

probably refrain from doing so.


Therefore, my year-end target for 2025 will probably be closer to the final balance for 2024. So around €350,000 at the end of 2025.


How are things looking for you? Have you already thought about your plans for 2025?


Finally, I wanted to say thank you again for all the positive reactions to my investment story!

Shouldn't $SRT, $NKE, $BC8, $AMGN be bought now that it's so down?
