Share your net worth progression

[cubanpete_the_swiss]

I hold assets that are valued in USD, CHF and EUR. The balance sheet I did provide is in CHF and I have it calculated in USD and EUR too.

But my stock trading happens all in USD, all dividends are in USD, all realized capital gains are in USD, why should I measure it in an exotic currency like CHF, a currency which I spend less than EUR.

I am in the process of changing my USD debt to CHF; the interest difference is a nice insurance long term. And it looks like I got a temporary low with slightly under CHF 0.79 to the Dollar.

I do not plan to leave Switzerland, but don’t spend too much time here neither.

Wonder what the Dollar will do on Monday…

One thing probably going on under the surface, which certainly affects me, is that we tend to / may compare ourselves to the other posters so we would like that comparison to be meaningful and fair. I think it should apply to topics like this one (‘share’ your net worth progression implies taking into account the recipients/readers more than the poster, it’s data sharing) but not necessarily all topics on the board.

I’m slighty tempted to change my avatar name to ‘Jones’ to make it easier for all of you to keep up with me.

As in “Keeping up with the Joneses.”

~27% growth mostly fueled by RSU vesting. On Personal front bought a house and welcomed our second son.

[PhilMongoose]

you already had real estate in your portfolio - was that some kind of rental property or funds or something else?

also: congratulations!

[goozrh]

That was the property I bought for my parents in my home town (not in CH).

Year	Networth	Returns
2019	CHF 36’900

2021	CHF 120’900	+ CHF 19’040

2024	CHF 281’800	+ CHF 37’570
2025	CHF 340’400	+ CHF 3’430

Yeah in 2025 growth was mostly driven by a good savings rate (+42.7k) and pension fund increase (+11.5k), not so much by market returns (+3.4k). Bad year for crypto and got unlucky again with my timing. Almost half of those savings/investments were from my bonus (as usual) which is paid out on February 20th every year. Which was exactly the top before the March/April crash in 2025.

Btw, I bought another plot last month in Bosnia for 10k. I’ll see how this will play out long-term, but I think it will be a great investment. 5 years ago I wasn’t planning on any RE and today it’s 35% of my total NW lol. Next goals are to hit 400k in autumn this year and 500k before the end of 2027.

Mainly driven by ASTS
Family with 3 kids, ~40% saving %

[FunnyDjo]

Family of 3 living in Geneva with 1 kid.

Slow increase on my side:

Equity composition

My NW increase of 134k since last year (+9,7%).
I’ve saved 95k (including LPP) with an average of 50% saving rate.
Unfortunately this rate will drop as my wife is still looking for a job with no more unemployment benefit.

Still with too much cash on the side and too much stock picking (underperforming the ETF section.)

Debt ratio	7,43%
Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR)	3,50%
Target Annual Expenses	75 000 €
Target Net Worth to FI	2 142 857 €
FI ratio	67,17%
Lower guardrail (3%)	1 500 000 €
Upper guardrail (5%)	2 785 714 €

[PhilMongoose]

what are the guardrails used for?

[FunnyDjo]

Go back to work or find alternative to generate cash for the lower guardrail.
The upper will be to increase your spending if allowed.

No 3a, or you count that to equity?

2018: 63’000
2019: 123’000

Twas a very good year all in all. Hopefully the portfolio will break through to seven figures in 2026, fingers crossed.

that’d be an awesome double-in-two-years bingo.

2025 update

• nothing interesting happened
• 11.5% NW increase, stock portfolio (again) underperformed VOO with about 11% gains in CHF, with some questionable stock picks and my employee stocks going the wrong way
• the one good thing I can be happy about is that my SO now has an almost-equal mix of BVG / 3a / corporate bonds / stocks / real estate

@user137

stock portfolio (again) underperformed VOO with about 11% gains in CHF

Did it? (in CHF)
VOO did ~18% in USD,
Yet USD/CHF went -12% or so over 2025.

11% in CHF is great!

[element532]

Congratulations on the excellent returns from investments. I am curious if the returns are from individual stocks or options.

This is the most impressive imho.

[user137]

I can’t really decipher IBKR reporting to be honest

The performance tracker says I underperformed SPY, but the NAV and everything is (should be) shown in CHF and SPY definitely didn’t go 18% in CHF this year….

[Patirou]

Problem is that IBKR is only showing performance benchmarks in the main currency. So your NAV is shown in CHF and the benchmark most probably in dollars, hence the difference.

@Patirou

Yes. In my opinion, that’s just a completely broken chart. Comparing relative performance across different currencies practically never makes sense. You can even hold 100% VOO but if your base currency is not USD, you see a huge difference to the benchmark. I would attribute it to US-centric developers but Swissquote has the same bug (At least Swissquote allows changing the currency of your own portfolio in the chart, so as long as you know the benchmark currency, you can make the chart make sense with an extra step).
