πŸ“ˆ 𝐌𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨π₯𝐒𝐨 – 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐒π₯ πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ” After a very rough March, April has kicked off with a completely different mood. Out of the 22 positions still in my portfolio, 19 improved their overall returnsβ€”on average by an impressive 13.2 percentage points. The remaining three declined at a similar pace (around -10.5 p.p. on average), but since they made up only a small portion, the overall portfolio performance turned out more than satisfying. As usual, I made three adjustments to the portfolio, introducing three new names, while the average holding period for active positions remains around six months. πŸ”Ή The standout performer was Germany’s solar equipment manufacturer $S92.DE (SMA Solar Technology AG) , which not only boosted its return by over 42 percentage points but also climbed eight spots in the rankings. The stock has been rising on the back of improving financial outlooks, stabilizing supply chains, and growing optimism across the renewable energy sectorβ€”particularly in Europe, where investment in energy independence continues to strengthen. As a result, SMA Solar now holds 7th place in the portfolio, delivering a 47% return in just over four months. πŸ”Ή Two holdingsβ€”Dutch construction, infrastructure, and real estate developer $HEIJM.NV (Koninklijke Heijmans NV) , and German energy technology giant $ENR.DE (Siemens Energy AG) β€”have both surpassed the 200% return mark, reaching 216% and 204% respectively over a 14–16 month period. Heijmans continues to lead the portfolio thanks to a strong order backlog and improving profitability in the construction sector. Meanwhile, Siemens Energy has overtaken Rolls-Royce Holdings, which slipped slightly after a weaker stretch, though it still maintains solid long-term performance. πŸ”Ή On the downside, the weakest performance came from Canadian gold mining company $KGC (Kinross Gold Corp) , whose return dropped the mostβ€”by 21.7 percentage points. This was largely due to fluctuating gold prices and profit-taking by investors following a strong previous rally. Even so, after this correction, the stock still shows an impressive 157% return over just over 13 months in the portfolio. Although it slipped two positions, it remains firmly in 4th place. πŸ”Ή Among the newcomers added in April, the most notable was U.S.-based telecom equipment and network software company $CIEN (Ciena Corp) . In just half a month, it generated a 22.5% return, jumping straight to 11th place in the rankings. This strong start was driven by better-than-expected financial results and rising demand fueled by accelerating investments in data centers, AI infrastructure, and 5G network expansion. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
