Positions

This portfolio is a 100% equity mix built entirely from broad index ETFs, with a clear global focus. Half sits in a core developed-world fund, while the rest adds explicit tilts to momentum, emerging markets, small caps, and US technology. This structure creates a “core and satellites” style: a diversified base with targeted overlays. That matters because the satellites can nudge behaviour away from a plain global index, potentially changing volatility and return patterns. The presence of both style (momentum, tech) and size (small caps) tilts suggests a willingness to accept more bumpiness for possible extra growth. Overall, the allocation is well-balanced and aligns closely with global standards, but it is clearly more growth-oriented than a typical mixed stock‑bond blend.

Growth Info

Over the period from late 2019, €1,000 grew to about €2,337, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.38%. CAGR is like averaging your speed on a road trip: it smooths out the ups and downs into one yearly number. The portfolio beat the global equity benchmark by around 0.50 percentage points per year, while lagging the US market by 1.83 points. Its worst drop was about ‑29% during early 2020, slightly milder than both benchmarks. That combination — somewhat lower drawdown with a small edge over global stocks — indicates the structure has historically delivered competitive growth while managing sharp falls reasonably well, though past behaviour is never a guarantee.

Projection Info

The forward projection uses a Monte Carlo simulation, which is basically a large set of “what if?” paths built from historical return and volatility patterns. Here, 1,000 scenarios for 15 years show a median outcome of about €2,851 from €1,000, with a wide “normal” range between roughly €1,847 and €4,341. The annualised return across all paths is 8.32%, and about three‑quarters of simulations end positive. This underlines both potential growth and uncertainty: outcomes vary a lot, from barely above the starting value to several multiples of it. Monte Carlo outputs depend heavily on past data and model assumptions, so they should be seen as an educational range, not a forecast.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    100%

All of the portfolio is invested in stocks, with no bonds, cash substitutes, or alternative assets in the mix. That creates a very clear risk profile: returns will mainly move with global equity markets rather than being cushioned by other asset classes. In practice, this usually means stronger growth potential over long periods, combined with larger and more frequent short‑term swings. Compared with a balanced stock‑bond portfolio, the absence of stabilising assets can lead to deeper temporary losses during market stress. On the other hand, staying fully in equities keeps things simple and avoids the drag that lower‑return assets can have in strong equity markets.

Sectors Info

  • Technology
    35%
  • Financials
    14%
  • Industrials
    12%
  • Health Care
    7%
  • Consumer Discretionary

  • Telecommunications

  • Energy
    5%
  • Basic Materials
    4%
  • Consumer Staples
    4%
  • Utilities
    2%
  • Real Estate
    2%

Sector exposure leans heavily towards technology, at 35%, with financials and industrials together accounting for another quarter of the portfolio. The remaining weight is spread across areas like health care, consumer sectors, telecoms, energy, and utilities. Relative to a broad global equity benchmark, that tech weight is noticeably higher, largely due to the dedicated US technology ETF and the momentum fund, which often favours recent winners. Sector balance matters because it shapes how the portfolio reacts to changes in interest rates, regulation, and the business cycle. Tech‑heavy portfolios may experience bigger ups and downs, especially when growth stocks fall in or out of favour as funding conditions change.

Regions Info

  • North America
    61%
  • Europe Developed
    13%
  • Asia Developed
    9%
  • Japan
    7%
  • Asia Emerging
    5%
  • Africa/Middle East
    2%
  • Australasia
    1%
  • Latin America
    1%

Geographically, the portfolio is anchored in North America at 61%, with significant positions in developed Europe, developed Asia, and Japan, plus a modest slice in emerging regions. This is broadly similar to common global indices, which also overweight the US due to its large share of world market value. Having meaningful allocations across multiple regions reduces the impact of any one economy or currency on overall results. At the same time, a clear US tilt means performance is still quite tied to US corporate earnings, policy, and the dollar. Historically that concentration has been rewarded, but regional leadership can shift over time, which is why global spread is a positive feature here.

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    44%
  • Large-cap
    31%
  • Mid-cap
    16%
  • Small-cap
    6%
  • Micro-cap
    1%

The market‑cap breakdown shows a strong bias to mega‑ and large‑cap companies, which together make up about three‑quarters of the portfolio. Mid‑caps and small‑caps, including a dedicated small‑cap ETF, contribute meaningful but smaller slices, with micro‑caps barely present. Large companies tend to be more stable, widely researched, and financially established, while smaller ones can be more volatile but sometimes offer higher growth potential. This blend provides a broad representation of the listed equity universe, but with extra emphasis on bigger names. That can smooth out some of the more extreme swings seen in purely small‑cap portfolios, while still allowing size exposure to influence long‑term return patterns.

Looking through the ETFs’ top holdings, several big names appear across multiple funds, such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Taiwan Semiconductor. The combined exposure to a few of these companies sits around the 2–4% range each, reflecting both their large index weights and the tech and momentum tilts. Overlap like this creates hidden concentration: even without directly buying a single stock, a handful of giants can drive a noticeable share of portfolio performance. Because only ETF top‑10 positions are shown, actual overlap is likely understated. This is typical of index‑based, developed‑market portfolios today and helps explain why large US technology and semiconductor firms have such a strong influence.

Risk contribution shows how much each holding adds to the portfolio’s overall ups and downs, which can differ from simple weight. The 50% developed‑world core fund contributes about 45% of total risk, slightly less than its size. In contrast, the 5% US tech ETF contributes around 6.6% of risk, and the momentum and small‑cap funds also punch a bit above their weights. This pattern is typical: more volatile or concentrated funds can dominate risk even when they are smaller allocations. The top three holdings together account for over 80% of total risk, illustrating that most of the portfolio’s behaviour is shaped by its main building blocks rather than the smaller satellites.

Risk vs. return

This chart shows the Efficient Frontier, calculated using your current assets with different allocation combinations. It highlights the best balance between risk and return based on historical data. "Efficient" portfolios maximize returns for a given risk or minimize risk for a given return. Portfolios below the curve are less efficient. This is informational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any assets.

The risk versus return chart shows the current mix sitting below the efficient frontier, with a Sharpe ratio of 0.62. The Sharpe ratio measures risk‑adjusted return, comparing extra return over cash to volatility — higher is better. The optimal portfolio using the same holdings has a Sharpe of 1.02, while the minimum‑variance version reaches 0.81, both above the current level. Being 1.39 percentage points below the frontier at the current risk means that, in theory, different weightings of these same ETFs could have delivered a more attractive balance between risk and return historically. That said, the existing allocation is still reasonably efficient and comfortably within the frontier band, not an outlier.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI UCITS 0.18%
  • iShares MSCI World Small Cap UCITS ETF USD (Acc) EUR 0.30%
  • iShares S&P 500 USD Information Technology Sector UCITS 0.15%
  • Xtrackers MSCI World Momentum UCITS ETF 0.25%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.11%

The underlying ETFs have low ongoing charges, with individual TERs between 0.11% and 0.30%, and a blended portfolio TER around 0.11%. TER, or Total Expense Ratio, is the annual fee charged by a fund, expressed as a percentage of assets. Costs are impressively low here, supporting better long‑term performance, because every euro not paid in fees can stay invested to compound. Over many years, even small differences in TER can add up to a noticeable gap in portfolio value. Using broad, low‑cost index funds as core building blocks is strongly aligned with widely accepted best practices for cost‑efficient equity exposure.
