$MAIN (+1,67%) An investment fund now?
Hi dear community!
Briefly about myself, I am relatively new to the world of investing... I have been with Trade Republic since last May and now save 4 Etf's per month and have some single stocks like $PEP (-0,38%) , $O (+0,63%) , $MAIN (+1,67%) , $NVDA (+3,19%) etc. which should generate additional cash flow for me.
However, I've been in the crypto world since 2023 and have invested most of my money there, but in the next few months everything will be liquidated, bull run and the parabolic rises will hopefully come soon.
Unfortunately, I currently only have €400 to invest each month.
The ETFs are invested as follows:
iShares MSCI World 200€ (accumulating)
iShares MSCI EM IMI 75€ (accumulating)
iShares Automation & Robotics 50€ (Accumulating)
VanEck Developed Markets Div Lead (newly added a few days ago) 75€
Considering adding more ETFs in the future!
I am very fond of the $JEPQ (+0,37%) and I would also like to invest even more in a Stoxx Europe ETF. But I'm still unsure whether I should go for the Europe 50 or the Europe 600 $EXSA (+0,49%) and whether distributing or accumulating would be the better choice!
If I liquidate my crypto portfolio, I will have a 6-digit sum to reinvest. Above all, Bitcoin will then be heavily invested again at the end of 2026 (most likely the low point of the next bear market)!
I'm looking forward to your answers and your current and future advice.
Thanks and best regards
Chris
Hello everyone,
I am currently toying with the idea of reorganizing my portfolio.
It currently looks like this:
50 % $HMWO (+1,46%)
20 % $AEEM (+0,67%)
30 % Shares with reference to dividend($MAIN (+1,67%) , $O (+0,63%) , $PEP (-0,38%) etc)
The whole thing is currently also fueled via a savings plan every month. Furthermore, all dividends are reinvested! This should also happen in the future (build up cash flow).
Now I would like to slim down my portfolio a bit and possibly swap the allocation or the ETFs (world + emerging) and exchange the shares for an ETF with dividends. I would also like to add some BTC. This should simplify the portfolio and reduce the effort involved. Nevertheless, it should also generate returns!
Now I have 2-3 ideas to rebuild the whole thing and would like to ask the swarm!
Option 1:
65% $VWRL (+1,44%)
30% $JEGP (+1,35%)
Target here: All world as a base, plus some divi power and monthly cash flow (replaces shares) + BTC on top. Overall a little more risk.
Option 2:
55% current Etfs World+emerging
25% $VHYL (+1,23%)
15% $JEGP (+1,35%)
Objective here: as with option 1, only slightly less reallocation work and slightly less risk.
Option 3:
55% $VWRL (+1,44%) or as ACC
25% $VHYL (+1,23%)
15% $JEGP (+1,35%)
You are welcome to share your ideas, feedback or similar.
I don't want to start a discussion about dividends, as there has been a lot of talk about them recently: yes, no, why and why not!
Thank you 😇!
Have a great start to the USA week 🙂.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about balance in investing. My portfolio now includes everything from high-yield monthly payers like $O (+0,63%) and $MAIN (+1,67%), to long-term compounders like $NOVO B (+3,18%) and $PEP (-0,38%) , and even some more speculative recovery bets like $INTC (+1,32%) .
But I’m not just in traditional equities — I also hold crypto, with positions like $ADA (-0,17%) and $AVA (+0,09%). $ADA (-0,17%) represents my belief in scalable, energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure, while AVA is a high-conviction pick tied to real-world use cases in the travel space.
Some picks underperform, others outperform — and that’s fine. The goal isn’t to win every race, it’s to build a system that works across different market cycles, generates income, captures growth, and gives me peace of mind.
Curious to hear how others approach this. Are you fully in on growth? Passive ETFs? Crypto-heavy? Or do you mix themes like I do?

After opening a position in Realty Income to strengthen the stable, income-generating side of my portfolio, I decided to complement it with Main Street Capital (MAIN)
While Realty Income gives me exposure to real estate and long-term commercial leases, MAIN brings something different to the table: it’s a business development company that invests directly in small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. I like the diversification this adds, both in terms of sector and structure.
What convinced me was the solid track record of monthly dividends, plus the potential for special dividends, which gives the position both reliability and upside. It’s also internally managed, which I see as a positive for cost control and alignment with shareholders.
Together, these two holdings help me move towards a portfolio that can deliver steady, diversified income — especially important as I balance out higher-risk assets on the other side.
Hello everyone,
Since many people here are invested in $MAIN (+1,67%) there must be someone who can answer my questions. Does Mainstreet usually reclassify its dividends in the following year? At least I could see on their site that there is no ROC.
If so, what impact does this have on withholding tax or final withholding tax?
Thanks for your feedback.
Hello everyone,
When I started I "just started" and of course made mistakes. It's typical when you think you're smarter than the market or are chasing hype. Now I'm slowly shifting my portfolio towards dividends. This is only happening slowly because I don't want to sell the shares at a loss.
The $JEGP (+1,35%) I've brought into the boat and am currently considering whether $O (+0,63%) into this one. Or add them on the side $MAIN (+1,67%) as a monthly payer. I'm convinced by all three.
$JEGP (+1,35%) currently has about half the payout at half the value. The advantage is that it is simpler and no withholding tax is deducted.
What do you think?
Three-pronged with $O (+0,63%) and $MAIN (+1,67%) or single-track pure $JEGP (+1,35%) and then maybe add the other two at some point.
The aim is to create the following portfolio via the savings rate
$VWRL (+1,44%) 60%
$TDIV (+1,68%) 10%
$FGEQ (+1,55%) 10%
$JEGP (+1,35%) 10%
$BTC (-0,03%) 10%
and supplement it with shares.
Of course, everything is long-term (I still have at least 24 years until retirement) and buy'n hold.
Oh yes: concrete gold is available and will remain so.
Discussion is open. Thanks for the feedback.
all small cattle... but I like it
$PG (+1,12%) , $MAIN (+1,67%) , $O (+0,63%) , $ABBV (+1,58%) , $AAPL (+2,14%) and $ALV (+0,57%)
Before the moment is over again, I would like to take a moment to celebrate my first small milestone: after almost a year of active trading, I have reached €10,000.
Most of the time I was still a student - with small savings rates, a lot of curiosity and learning by doing (and many mistakes). I've now been working as an engineer for a month and can invest properly for the first time. I'm excited to see where the journey will take me.
I am pursuing a long-term growth strategy, but I also like the charm of dividends as a motivator. With half of the bonuses, I will probably buy individual shares or burn a penny or two by gambling.
I know things aren't going perfectly, but I'm prepared to learn from mistakes and constantly question my strategy.
One small fly in the ointment: my Mercedes shares are currently still blocked.
I look forward to your feedback, experiences and tips - on the subject of crypto, I'm still torn as to whether I've missed the party.

Hello Getquin Community,
I would be interested to know: What are your top dividend stocks or which ones do you currently have on your watchlist that you would like to add to your portfolio?
My strongest stocks at the moment are definitely $HSBA (+1,45%) and $BATS (+1,09%) Both deliver solid dividend yields and are real classics in the dividend strategy sector.
I'll add a few more to the list - I'm looking forward to your additions:
$SREN (+1,23%)
$ZURN (+0,08%)
$MO (+0,29%)
$CVX (+2,81%)
$MAIN (+1,67%)
$O (+0,63%)
