Let’s see:

Are you confident you’ll outperform “the market” with your equity portfolio - in the long run & based on skill/style/selection (not counting leverage)?

Yes, by overweighting US and completely ignoring EM.

Same. I would not bet against USA right now.

No. Core asset is 100% VT invested on taxable
Others supports (2nd pillar, 3A, assurance vie française)
I slightly overweight EM, CH Mid/Small cap, and EU Mid cap. Higher dividend yield without tax index funds are better there :wink:

No. I am mostly tilted towards lower growth/volatility stocks.

No, but diverging from the market as a micro-activist investor who wants to choose where their money goes (or rather will when I’ll get back my ability to invest in stocks).

Same. 100% focus on USA (e.g. VTI or MSCI USA TR based ETF in 3a and Freizügigkeit).

Started with VTI + VEA + VWO + VIOV, but switched to VTI only.

I have done stock picking twice (for me at that time larger sums).

  • Cloudflare ($NET): +2’968 USD
  • Idorsia ($IDIA): -1’915 CHF

I think you have to do it once, after that you know your own risk tolerance better. I now only invest in a world ETF. Simply because I don’t have time and because I don’t really understand anything about it (stock picking without a clue feels more like gambling to me).

No
Most likely I will underperform as I have underweight USA :slight_smile:

Mostly for risk management

10% CH, 10% IN, 80% Rest of world

If I count just the equity aide of the portfolio, I expect to slightly outperform over the lingterm by something like 0.5%-1% after taxes, compared to VT.

Combination of multi-factor funds and tax optimization.

I have overweight a bit the Swiss shares to have about 90% VT and 10% SLICHA. On 3a it’s about 80% World ex CH and 20% SPI, ignoring EM.

Quite satified about the overall performance but sure it’s less than the S&P500 alone :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I have that on my radar as I llike the products, but I could never bring myself to pay huge valuations for a company that seems to make bigger and bigger losses. I do hope they turn things around earnings-wise - they are growing the top line nicely and do have some great services, so I do see a path to profitability for them. It’s just tough to invest when they are in full investment mode and you have to trust it pays off years down the line.
