I've been checking monthly only because I got into the habit of tracking expenses and finances on a monthly basis. It's fun for tracking purposes, but checking asset proportions that often is like watching paint dry. Rebalance events happen every 2-3 years, more or less depending on how you're hand...

Hello,

last 5 years EUPP made 18% ?

Please confirm.

Thank you.

Shaymor I have been running a European PP for a while, also in France. I cannot say the results are good this year. For example, year to date: 1. My PP. This contains individual French blue chips and a DAX ETF: -1.3%. A paper four-ETF PP of CEU, MTH, GBS and C13 (similar to yours) which I follow fo...

Hello everyone,

for someone having EU-PP and low risk does it makes sense to buy VIG ETF?

Please share your opinions.


Thank you!


Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG)

Wooow

What a waste!

Try another hobby.

Do you admit to change from EUPP to USPP in function of these true results? Hope I understand you correctly. As a european I would definitely not use a USPP portfolio, I use and will continue to use a strict EUPP. The reason why I am deep diving into US funds now is that in US there are so much mor...

Hi,

Do you admit to change from EUPP to USPP in function of these true results?

Why is it so important to you to know this real cagr?

My best regards.

Hello to you all. I am also an european (dutch) PP user. Many years ago I already wanted to organize myself a simple and failsafe portfolio and Harry Brown's PP was always anywhere back in my head for that. But then again I hate financials and bookkeeping so lost sight of the project. Begin this ye...

Hi Juandelarocha, -0.5% and 1.8% in a year doesn't mean much and sounds to me like you're focussing too much on short-term results. Both the PP and a more conventional stock-heavy porftfolio can go nowhere for 10 years. 1 year results are meaningless. It also seems you were expecting something diff...

In that highly unlikely event, I would lose ~14% of the portfolio (but I'm sure the EU part would grow that much more as a consequence). I don't see any of those two extremes happening. That said, if I would have to bet on likelihood, I'd say it's far higher for the EUR to get devalued against the ...

@frugal: I am comfortable with currency risk at 20% in USD, for the benefit of having exposure to US economy. @WhiteElephant: If that's concerning local taxes, we have a fixed capital gains tax on everything so that does not affect me. @stuper1: Thanks, good catch! I've changed that to iShares Trea...

Hi everyone, here's my portfolio I'm looking to implement in the coming weeks. I'm in EU, so it's focused on Eurozone, however with 20% of assets in/related to US. I added symbols since I lost a ton of time looking for the right ones. Stocks - xTrackers MSCI EMU, EUR ( XD5E ) - 20% - Vanguard US To...

My online savings account still has a positive yield: 0.35%. All short-term euro treasuries have negative yields. The iShares 0-1y euro etf for example has a YTM of -0.5%. So that’s a difference of almost 1 percent. hi is that theortically correct? Can we use CD's instead without more RISK? Thanks ...

Small update on my EU-PP. Been invested in the PP for almost a year now and still very happy with it. Made two small changes: I've replaced Lyxor EuroMTS 15y+ (LYXF) with iShares € Govt Bond 20yr Target Duration (E20Y). E20Y uses higher quality bonds (No bonds from Spain/Italy) and has a higher dur...

Frugal - There is a lot of information available on the construction of dividend portfolios and I don't claim to be an expert. One thing I would say is that it is much easier to construct a dividend portfolio of US shares than of Euro shares, as there is a far better choice of dividend-paying share...

Frugal To answer the questions: 1.Relative performance of Eu and US PPs. You can look this up yourself by comparing simple 4 -ETF portfolios, or comparing published results such as Marc de Mesel's EU results with US results. Portfoliocharts.com has similar average performances for US and German PPs...
