Hey everyone, I’m 21 probably celebrated my birthday few days ago, based in the EU, and recently got pretty deep into investing (went from “I should probably save money” to downloading multiple investment books mid night :).
I just finished reading One Up On Wall Street by Peter Lynch probably the book that made things click the most for me and after that + some research, I decided to actually build my first portfolio instead of just thinking about it.
Here’s what I came up with (all UCITS since I’m in EU):
- Invesco EQQQ Nasdaq-100 — 22%
- iShares Core MSCI World — 18%
- iShares MSCI Global Semiconductors — 12%
- VanEck Defense — 10%
- HANetf Future of Defence — 5%
- iShares STOXX Europe 600 Oil & Gas — 9%
- Global X Uranium — 9%
- UBS Nuclear Economies — 5%
- iShares Healthcare Innovation — 10%
My thinking (trying to channel my inner Peter Lynch here):
- Solid core with Nasdaq + MSCI World (Tech related bias)
- Then some bets on what I think are big long-term trends:
- AI / semiconductors
- energy (oil + nuclear)
- defense (split between traditional + cyber side)
- And healthcare as a bit of a “okay this might save me if everything else goes crazy” position
I know it’s not exactly chill volatility definitely leaning into risk here and hoping it pays off long-term.
I also sent this exact portfolio to my uncle (he’s been investing way longer than me), so I’m waiting for him to roast it 😂 but figured I’d ask here too.
Would love your thoughts:
- Am I accidentally betting on the same thing in different ways?
- Does the defense split actually make sense or am I overcomplicating it?
Be honest, thanks!
