January was a month of transition for global markets. While the S&P 500 remained broadly steady, large-cap growth stocks went through a valuation reset as earnings expectations met a โhigher for longerโ interest rate outlook. We also saw brief moves into safe havens driven by geopolitical headlines, but Gold and Silver later pulled back as markets refocused on monetary policy. This environment rewarded patience over speculation and balance over hype.

The portfolioโs focus on low-risk, steady growth proved effective during this period of uncertainty, supported by disciplined position sizing.
โข The existing allocation to European defense, including BAE Systems and Leonardo, remained an anchor in the portfolio. These positions are based on structurally higher European defense spending rather than short-term headlines and continued to provide stability during market volatility.
โข January volatility allowed selective additions of high-quality large-cap names at more attractive valuations, including Apple, Microsoft, and Netflix. Position sizes were kept deliberately controlled to limit concentration risk while maintaining upside exposure.
โข Maintaining a significant cash balance proved to be the most effective defensive decision. In a month when both equities and traditional safe havens experienced sharp moves, liquidity helped protect capital and preserved flexibility to act when opportunities appeared.

Thank you for the clear January update, Veronika. I really appreciate the disciplined risk management and the focus on liquidity and selective, high-quality adds. Iโll be increasing my copy amount with you from here.... Show More
Hi Veronika, Iโm planning to copy you with โฌ5,000. To help me manage my expectations, do you personally make regular monthly deposits into this account, or is the capital you have in there now mostly fixed?
If you do add funds regularly, by what average percentage do you increase your balance each month?... Show More
