April flew by with some long weekends off and a trip to Portugal. The portfolio was quite steady, although some assets were not performing really well. After deposits, we still managed to grow to total value a little.
Capital Growth Portfolio
The Saxo portfolio is up 0.97%.
Portfolio value: €6795.51

Index Fund & Stock Portfolio
Another month without any buys, the cash position is slowly coming around. I’m currently determining which route to go. Do I want to invest more in growth or do I want to go more towards dividend stocks… Getting a higher passive income each month is really appealing, although the other route might be quicker in building a high-value portfolio.
A mix of dividend stocks and growth ETFs ensures a much more stable portfolio mix, which is appealing since I can’t keep track of every market.
Portfolio value: €9244.58
Deposits: €200
Cash: -€1556.22
Passive income: €12.41
Real Growth/Decline: -€285.44
Ideal allocation (December 2022):
- Stocks: 75%
- ETFs & Cash: 25%
If you want to start investing, the platform I’m investing on is DeGiro, but you can also invest on other platforms like eToro.
Semmie Portfolio
No deposits this month and the portfolio is up 0.85%.
Portfolio value: €378.33
Deposits: €0
Growth/decline: -€0.99
P2P Lending Portfolio
Mintos
This month was the first time the portfolio value declined since I joined the platform more than 3 years ago. This is because a loan defaulted and court decided there was no way to get the money back. The first defaulted loan in 3 years, let’s hope more won’t follow and we will see the regular €5 increase again next month!
Still paused any further deposits. Once I reach €1000 on this platform and €500 on EstateGuru, I will diversify platforms. The last 3 years have been good on Mintos.
Portfolio value: €823.05
Deposits: €0
Passive income: -€8.91

Portfolio value: €397.73
Deposits: €0
Passive income: €1.62

Corekees
Another month, another tree. This month, however, a new project was launched “Project Bamboo”. The project duration is 15 years, and the ROI is 6.7%, which is a little lower than the Pongamia project I’m investing in monthly, but diversifying is always a good idea.
Portfolio value: €325.5
Deposits: €22.50
Crypto Portfolio
The first red month of the year for the existing assets, but the portfolio is up 2.31%, because of a €200 deposit. It seems there is nothing to worry about yet, it’s an expected pullback after three months of green.
The rest of the assets are still growing slowly because of the interest. Swissborg is giving me a 4.5% yield on my bitcoin and 7.75% on my USDC.
I also want to remind everyone how important it is to keep most of your crypto off the exchanges you are trading on. I keep mine on a Ledger.
Portfolio value: €4580.21

Ideas for May
In the coming months, it is time to add some to the cash position and invest a little more in crypto if the crypto portfolio doesn’t turn around. This will be needed to keep the 20% allocation.
