Hello everyone! 2025 has come to an end and our portfolio returns have been stellar, we managed to get a ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ.๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ%, beating our benchmark by 24.68%, and marking the ๐Ÿฐ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„ we managed to do so. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป: โ—พ Our Portfolio: ๐ŸŸข +47.11% โ—พ VT (benchmark): ๐ŸŸข +22.43% โ—พ VOO: ๐ŸŸข +17.82% ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ): โ—พ Our Portfolio: ๐ŸŸข +265% โ—พ VOO: ๐ŸŸข +52% โ—พ VT (benchmark): ๐ŸŸข +41% This gets us to an ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ% annually since inception. As usual the returns for the year come from just a handful of trades I did through the year: 1- We started the year with $BATS.L (British American Tobacco) as our largest position. It saw a massive run up through the first half of the year. I decided to fully exit a few months ago, ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ~๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป. 2- I rotated the $BATS.L profits into $GOOGL (Alphabet Inc Class A) when the stock dropped on AI disruption fears. Since that move, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ~๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ%, becoming our new largest position. Of course not all of our picks were winners, we also saw a big drop $CROX (Crocs Inc), one of our largest positions, after reiterated disappointments of their HEYDUDE brand, making it our largest loser of the year, now sitting at a 13% loss. While this is not great I'm watching the business carefully and I still believe it's undervalued. I also want to thank all of you who are copying me for your continued trust and support. Let's make 2026 another great year.
