After the third quarter of 2024, we are still on track to achieve the Konzernziele for the year as a whole. This bereinigte Konzern-EBITDA is still in line with expectations at 6.7 billion euros and bereinigte Konzernüberschuss 2.2 billion euros after nine months, we are still in line with expectations. The ramp-up of the Investitionen our Group is making good progress. We were able to increase our investments in the energy transition by 20 percent compared to the same period last year: we invested around 4.7 billion euros in the first nine months, 3.6 billion of which in the grid business.

As expected, our adjusted Group EBITDA of around EUR 6.7 billion in the first nine months of 2024 was below the previous year's high figure, which was characterized by positive Einmaleffekte was characterized by positive effects (9M 2023*: EUR 7.8 billion). Adjusted for these one-off effects, the underlying EBITDA increased in the low triple-digit million euro range, in particular due to investment-driven growth. Business development in the first nine months thus confirms the picture that already emerged after the first half of the year.

Adjusted Group net profit amounted to around EUR 2.2 billion in the first nine months of the 2024 financial year (9M 2023*: EUR 2.9 billion) and was therefore also in line with expectations. We remain on track for the year as a whole and continue to expect adjusted Group EBITDA of between EUR 8.8 billion and EUR 9.0 billion and adjusted Group net profit of between EUR 2.8 billion and EUR 3.0 billion.

In the Geschäftsfeld Energy Networks, adjusted EBITDA in the first nine months was almost on a par with the previous year at just under EUR 4.8 billion (9M 2023*: EUR 4.8 billion). Temporary effects, particularly with regard to redispatch costs in Germany, had a significant positive impact on earnings in the same period of the previous year. In addition, the volumes transmitted were slightly below plan compared to the previous year. In contrast, higher investments in the growing grid infrastructure boosted earnings. The switch to the new electricity regulation period also led to a positive contribution to earnings, partly due to the increased regulated asset base and simultaneous reduction in imputed costs. Eigenkapitalzinssätze a positive contribution to earnings.

After prolonged tensions and disagreements over the economic policy course, particularly with regard to the debt brake and investmentsChancellor Olaf Scholz effectively ended the traffic light coalition on November 6, 2024 with the dismissal of Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) ended. The FDP then withdrew from the government and left the previous coalition with the Greens and the SPD broke up. Scholz sharply criticized Lindner's financial policy and accused him of using one-sided austerity policy the urgently needed modernization and promotion of growth in Germany.

In order to clarify the situation and "secure" the confidence of the Bundestag Scholz held a vote of confidence for January 15, 2025 has been announced. Should he lose this, the path for new elections would already be open end of March 2025 would be free. The CDU/CSU however, are calling for a quicker vote and are banking on new elections as early as January. Until the new elections, Scholz would form a minority government with the Greens would lead.

The upcoming new elections could lead to a clear change of direction in Germany. Currently, the CDU/CSU dominate the opinion polls with around 32%. Voters who are disappointed with the previous traffic light coalition could now switch to a more conservative, more business-friendly program program. It is assumed that the election campaign topics will primarily focus on economic policy issues. At a time when Germany is struggling with weak economic growth, investment laziness and infrastructural challenges issues surrounding the debt brakefinancing public investment and ways to revive the economy could play a central role.

The political instability could short-term put pressure on the DAX $DAX under pressure in the short term. The index recently reached 19,275 points, a record high. Especially the sectors automotive industry ($VOW3 (+0%) | $MBG (+0%) | $BMW (+0%) ), the energy sector ($RWE (+0%) | $EOAN (+0%) ) and infrastructure companies could be affected by increased volatility due to their dependence on government increased volatility but this would also be limited.

At the heart of the crisis is the question of whether the debt brake can be relaxed in order to allow urgently needed investments in infrastructure, education and digitalization financing. The possibility of a new government pursuing a looser fiscal policy could have a positive effect on the German economy and remove barriers to investment. reduce barriers to investment reduce barriers to investment.

A clear economic policy signal after the new elections could boost the confidence of investors and the long-term growth prospects of Germany. Election campaign topics such as structural reforms, improvement the competitiveness and investments in a sustainable infrastructure could lead Germany into a phase of sustainable growth.

Unfortunately, the political crisis comes at a time of geopolitical change, particularly with Donald Trump's return to the White House. Germany's role on the international stage, especially in transatlantic transatlantic relations and in trade issuescould be influenced by this realignment. The possibility of punitive tariffs or changes in US policy could economic policy decisions and investment decisions German companies even more difficult.

We have decided to halve our position in e.on.

For three reasons:

Significantly fewer electric cars will be sold than forecast. This means that electricity consumption will also increase less rapidly.

The ECB's interest rate cuts should cause grid fees to fall again in the medium term.

$EOAN (+0%) has accounted for more than 10% of the weighting of our portfolios. Hence the partial sale now.

Of course, we will remain partially invested in Eon. We continue to believe that eon is a long-term beneficiary of the climate transition.

I used the strong price of $EOAN (+0%) at [12.82€] to reduce the position somewhat and $MBG (+0%) added at [62.29€].

The decision was based on the hope of achieving a higher dividend yield and adding another dividend payer to the portfolio. In addition, the #eon item had become too large in the portfolio due to the annual inflow.

[Joke mode ON]

I hope I'm not drawing a short circuit #eon and just under the wheels with the investment #mercedes

So, after my lukewarm stumble onto the stage of the community recently, now for real:

Hello everyone (friendly nods to all),

I've been a mostly silent reader for a while now, but I'd like to introduce myself - even if I don't know what I'm up to - in keeping with local custom:

I am 55 & a civil servant in the Federal Civil Service, which puts me in the fortunate position (I hope) of not having to rely on additional income from investments for a materially bearable retirement (in twelve years' time, I would just about reach retirement without deductions after 40 years in the civil service). Investment is therefore essentially a consumption alternative, a safety cushion and - later - intended for my sons (living with their mother, 17 & 13 years old; each with their own portfolios / savings plans). My investment horizon is therefore open ended (or determined biologically or by the legitimate major needs of the offspring).

My investment history - still perceptible in the portfolio presented here - begins in 1996/1997 with the first (and later unfortunately also the second) placement of the $DTE (-0,03%) T-share and the IPO of $PSM (+0%) ProSieben (which has since more than made up for its initial investment through dividends, good boy). At some point, he inherited the current e.on position from his grandparents $EOAN (+0%) e.on position and a position in $VOW3 (+0%) Volkswagen, which I sold several years later on the advice of my savings bank at the time (bygones).

Then nothing for a long time (studies/traineeship, career start - I was "investing in my current account" and couldn't even manage to process my business trip expenses on time, tststs).

With a wife and children came the need to make provisions (the little guys simply cost a tidy sum through the cycle), which I initially did through sporadic ad hoc investments:

In particular hubris, at the beginning of the subprime crisis I trusted the investment banks to have everything under control and bought shares in $DBK (+0%) Deutsche Bank (close to ATH), Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch (the relics can be found as a minus at $BAC (+0,28%) Bank of America for Bear Stearns and - invisibly - a tax loss carryforward to offset the now quite respectable $JPM (+0,1%) J.P. Morgan position for Merrill Lynch), $DBK (+0%) with additional purchases slowly creeping back into a "perhaps at some point back to zero" zone.

Otherwise, a number of active funds ($n/a LU0557858130, $n/a LU1143163779, $n/a IE00BG7PHW03, $n/a LU1496713741, $n/a DE0008474750, $n/a GB0030932676, $n/a (+0%) LU1864952335 and predecessors), of which only $n/a (+0%) Pictet Water had actually performed noticeably positively on a time-weighted basis.

From around 2015, I then gradually started to populate the current portfolio with various equity and ETF savings plans at ING ($GOOG (+0,06%) Alphabet C, $AAPL (+0,1%) Apple, $KO (+0,14%) Coca-Cola, $NESN (+0%) Nestlé, $BAYN (+0,15%) Bayer (ouch!), $SIE (+0%) Siemens, $DIS (+0,06%) Walt Disney, $PFE (+0,08%) Pfizer, $PR1J (+0,57%), $FLXC (-0,71%), $FLXK (+0,66%), $EXS1 (+0,02%), $LCUK (+0,01%), $C060, $XMUS (+0,17%), $DBXW (+0,04%), mostly at 50 euros/month), supplemented by a few nicely timed individual purchases in $AAPL (+0,1%) , when it was still trading at around 80 euros before the 3:1 stock split, as well as $MT (+0%) AcelorMittal and $BHP (-0,13%) (mini position, but with a nice dividend yield since then).

With supply chain problems and inflation emerging at the end of corona/beginning of Ukraine, I then started to invest in another portfolio, the actually far too expensive $SPAG (-0,47%) iShares Agribusiness and $EXV6 (-0,11%) iShares STOXX Europe 600 Basic Resources as a hedge against the rising cost of living that had gone wrong (had bet on more pronounced sectoral greed-flation).

Since I have since followed the recommendations of $VWCE (+0,04%) resp. $ACWI (Glashaus!) in the meantime, the aggregated lump and the $AAPL (+0,1%) and $GOOG (+0,06%) was getting a bit scary, but I didn't want to touch the corresponding equity savings plans (more on this in a moment), I put my basic trust in the long-term out-performance of the US equity market into practice by investing in two "equal weight" index funds, namely with $WEBA (+0,16%) on the NASDAQ100 (also with a savings plan) and $XDEW (+0,18%) on the S&P500 (one-off investment only).

Some of this, especially the earlier investment history, is foreign to my Getquin portfolio history, as I only entered this after a portfolio reorganization in early 2023.

Over the years, my employer has steadily introduced stricter regulations for private financial transactions, which currently makes it practically impossible for me to invest in individual names or funds with certain predominant industry shares. However, in an exemplary manner under the rule of law, previously existing savings plans were protected in the respective iterations of the tightening, so that I jealously continue the remaining share savings plans (see above lump at $GOOG (+0,06%) and in particular $AAPL (+0,1%)).

I currently save monthly as follows (savings rate): Grandfathering: $GOOG (+0,06%) (100), $AAPL (+0,1%) (50), $DIS (+0,06%) (50), $PFE (+0,08%) (50), $KO (+0,14%) (50); "regular": $VWCE (+0,04%) (currently 520 with annual 4% dynamic), $SPAG (-0,47%) (100), $WEBA (+0,16%) (100), $EXV6 (-0,11%) (100), $10AJ (+0,07%) (100) and - before first-time execution - (100). $SDIP (+0%) (100).

In addition, I have reflected certain market assessments at the respective point in time through individual purchases in country ETFs (long-term catch-up potential of the emerging markets through $HMEF (-0,49%), $FLXC (-0,71%), $FLXK (+0,66%) - $FLXI (-0,65%) was now too expensive for me and the Indian economy was not sufficiently represented by companies listed there; the sleeping innovation giant Japan through $PR1J (+0,57%), "luxury always works" even in times of inflation through $DX2G (-0,01%)Europe - especially CH and UK - as a general counterweight to the US through $VEUR (-0,06%) and the sensible Nordics by $XNZN (+0,02%)), so that there is now a colorful bouquet of ETFs. However, I am not fundamentally dissatisfied with this, especially as far as these are distributing & savings plan-capable in my ING portfolio, so that their distributions (from 75 euros) are automatically reinvested ($VEUR (-0,06%) - is so large that this could work for each of the quarterly distributions, $DX2G (-0,01%), $PR1J (+0,57%)).

I think that as long as I am still subject to my employer's investment restrictions, I will only make marginal changes to this. For a "fire and forget" portfolio, however, I could imagine switching to a 70/20/10 portfolio in the medium term. $WEBG (+0,05%), $HMEF (-0,49%), $SDIP (+0%) (@ING: please $SDIP (+0%) savings plan, thank you!). Let's see what the end of PFOF brings on the cost side, especially for savings plans.

So, that's it; thanks for your patience and perseverance. You're welcome to give me tips, but as I said, my hands are largely tied (and I don't think much of the crypto tulip bulbs until they become an actual means of payment, not just for buying sinister services on the dark web)...

Here's to a successful investment community (&thanks for having me)!
