Re: Absolutely brutal - 5/5

It’s also fun to try to replicate an HBPP in two components Wellesley and gold OR Wellington and gold. It’s a cool portfolio, but how is that replicating the HBPP? That’s like replicating a pizza with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Also a fine dish, but not the same. Gold, Stock, Bonds, Short t...

One spreadsheet to rule them all?

I've been running a PP for over a year now along with some additional investments I've made in different instruments: Industry/geography-targeting ETFs P2P lending (various platforms) I want to unite and track all my investments in one place to understand how they're performing. I tried searching on...

Re: How often should I rebalance when adding money to PP?

I'm so sorry! That's costly. Are no-fee index mutual funds available through IB to Europeans, or do you pay €10 for those also? Mutual funds are kind of like your Dad's old way to invest, but if you're not trading, then they're OK. I haven't really looked into mutual funds — there's a whole bunch o...

Re: How often should I rebalance when adding money to PP?

**** Oh, are you in Europe? **** I am. I'm using IB and (currently) running a US-focussed PP, which is another pain because of European regulation requiring ETFs to disclose key information in a specific way (I've covered that in another thread on the forums). That means most of the ETFs I can buy ...

How often should I rebalance when adding money to PP?

This might have been discussed on the forum before... I've been running a PP for about 18 months now, happy with the returns after an initial period of mixed (negative) results... Last year, after I had my initial allocation in the portfolio, I made investments in some other assets, which I don't co...

Try this: https://portfoliocharts.com/portfolio/index-funds/

It has a decent collection of ETFs listed on UK and German exchanges.

Also, Justetf.com is a great resource for European investors.
Thanks, those are super helpful!

Re: European ETF Alternatives

I'd guess these are broker restrictions. Open an account with another and it should work. Be aware of estate taxes since you are buying US-domiciled ETFs. Unfortunately, not broker restrictions, but just a decision by US fund managers not to comply (at least for now) with EU regulation. It seems th...

Re: European ETF Alternatives

Consumer protection supposedly, but it might also be a veiled attempt to prop the European ETF scene:

European ETF Alternatives

I'm based in the EU, been running a US-based (USD) PP for about 6 months spread in ETFs. I am now looking at diversifying further by buying specific sector/industry-tracking ETFs (such as VGT, FINX, etc.) However, due to a recent change in regulation, I cannot trade most of the ETFs I'm interested i...

Re: 2 PP Portfolios, 6 months performance

So does anyone here actually follow the PP as designed? Be honest. I didn't include that in my original post, but both portfolios I mentioned were split 4*25% in the beginning and the plan is to rebalance them back to this split each time they reach the 15/35 band. So, yes, I follow the PP as desig...

Re: 2 PP Portfolios, 6 months performance

Thank you all!

It's my first foray in investing, so I was worried I might be "doing something wrong" :)

2 PP Portfolios, 6 months performance

Hello, I opened two separate portfolios about 6 months ago and this is their performance up until now. Obviously not perfect, so I was curious to find out whether other members of the forum have had similar issues or you have any advice. Thanks! Here are the numbers: European PP (in EUR) Start date:...
