r/trading212

Started it on the first of october in 2023. I have taken adjusted it yesterday, while taking some profits on AMD, Microsoft & Meta. Have taken profits on Palantir twice before.

I’m from the Netherlands so that’s why it has 3 Dutch stocks in there as well.

I do have a few other Pie’s as well, one for European defense stocks and one for regular monthly dividends containing REITS & BDC’s only.

I’ve recently left sixth form so now I’m working full time taking home around £1900 a month. Current investment plan is to whack everything into VWRP (Amazon shares were a free bonus for signing up) and I’ve got a savings account with a bit of emergency cash but I have no expenses except for my car, gym and girlfriend and I’m living with my parents so I don’t really have a need for a large emergency fund. I’ve also opened up a LISA just to have one in case the new scheme turns out to be worse. My question is, is there anything else I should be doing at this stage? Perhaps individual stocks? I’m looking to invest long term (20+ years) and grow as much as possible in that time.

I’d like to know if it’s a good pie for long term growth, and if it’s worth adding bonds in any way to this pie keep it as is

22 UK investing any spare money after payday, anywhere from £150-500 every 4 weeks. How am I doing and is there anything that should be changed? In all honesty I’ve winged it completely so I’ve still a lot to learn. (i’ve sold and re-bought AMD, NVDA, and GOOGL to round to a whole share so the percentages for them are incorrect)

Hi guys,

I am a 20 year old from Australia who has been investing on Trading 212 for nearly 2 years now, and wanted to get some thoughts on my portfolio.

This is how I’m currently invested, and I am looking to make some changes: I am looking to sell down all money invested in apple, as I brought this very much in the beginning of my investing journey, not knowing too much about investing, but obviously knowing apple is a tech giant. I think I have got a very good return for it and am wanting to increase my position in IREN, as well as potentially open up another position in AVGO. I was also thinking about trimming part of my position in AMD, given my return, and also NVDA, as I already have a lot of money invested in it in my ETF’s. Before the comments come, I do in fact do research when it comes to investing into my individual stock holdings, and really do enjoy doing it — yes, it’s a lot easier to just invest in a singular ETF, but as I said, I enjoy doing the research into specific companies.

Thanks guys, let me know your thoughts!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on individual stocks to research and potentially add to my portfolio.

I’m planning to invest the majority of my money into the VWRP ETF for long-term, diversified growth, but I’d also like to pick out a few individual companies with good growth potential, similar to IonQ.

Are there any individual stocks you’d recommend looking into for the long term, and what makes you confident in their potential?

I already have a LISA, which I am putting £330 in every month, but I have spare money that I’d like to put into this.

I’m relatively new to investing, and I have only put little amount of money in this week. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Something a bit different from the usual VALL/VWRP and chill or random Take Two and Space-X tombola picks, maybe of interest for the older members of the sub.

I'm starting to look ahead to taking income rather then pure growth. I'm older, self-employed with an irregular income, and wanting to grow a baseline income from investments that can sit there reinvesting into itself until I need it and turn the DRIP off.

I have some criteria:

1. Candidate funds/stocks must have a track record for growing dividends.
2. Dividend must be sustainable.
3. Estimated AAR of 8% or better.
4. Must pay dividends in GBP, this avoids currency fluctuations.
5. The portfolio must, so far as practicable, produce an evenly distributed income across the year.

UK equity income is fairly easy to achieve whilst meeting the criteria using CTY, MRCH and HHI. Broadening out to the ROW is proving frustrating, even waiving the GBP requirement. There are some months that funds/stocks do not like paying out on.

1. and 4. rule out LDGG, although I do hold it.

The CTY-MRCH-HHI pie shown yields £1k/year for every ~£22.5k held with an estimated AAR of ~10%.

For those also at a point where they're looking at income, what funds have caught your attention?
