SAVINGS & STRATEGY

Savings

My goal is to save a minimum of 15 000 kr a month which is in all honesty pretty modest in relation to my salary. However, I believe that drastically increasing my savings ratio to let say 40% will limit and impact my daily or weekly activities which I hold dear and therefore choose to set the bar to what I think is good enough. 
With that said, the amount will of course vary over time as my salary hopefully increases. 

Looking forward, if I save 15 000 kr a month in the foreseeable future,  I will have reached the 1MSEK bar within at least 4-5 years. (see graf below).

Strategy 

1. I invest mainly in stocks but also in ETFs, PREFs and mutual funds. 
2. I want to own a maximum of 30 companies that I can actively follow
3. Each core companies can at most make up for 20% of my total portfolio value
4. Other companies should not exceed 10% of my total portfolio value
5. An industry should not exceed 30% of the total portfolio value
6. I strive to have a total dividend yield of minimum 5% (this only concerns companies in my dividend portfolio)

ALL IN ON PAYDAY OR TO BUY THROUGHOUT THE MONTH?

I know... you will probably tell me that buying on the dip is not a long-term strategy and buy frequently or monthly has proven to give the highest return on investment. However, as the market went negative, and all my stocks were in the red, I couldn't help to wish that I had some money left to fill my portfolio with even more shares from the companies I already own. I have always been investing all my savings the very next day my salary lands into my bank account as my impatience takes over. To ensure that I do not end up in the same situation again, I have decided to adopt a new buying strategy which is to buy stocks regularly over the course of the month instead of buying everything  on payday. This approach ensures that I have the chance to buy shares at a lower price if the opportunity presents itself such as today. However do not mistake me, I am not trying to time the market, I will also buy when the market goes up. What is your buying strategy?

KINNEVIK

Kinnevik occupies approximately 20% of my total portfolio value. This is not a fluke! The reason why Kinnevik is my most significant asset is that I believe the company is exceptionally well managed and has an excellent long-term strategy which has revealed itself to be beneficial for their shareholders including myself. Kinnevik most substantial assets comprise of Millicom and Zalando which together constitute almost half of their NAV. Two companies which have during 2017 seen a positive overall growth rate even though Millicom didn't have it easy. Millicom Millicom International Cellular SA for people who don't know is an international telecommunications and media company.

THE BLOG IS LIVE!

It's time; the blog is now online. After a lot of inspiration by many people on Twitter, I decided to follow the herd and begin to share my experience regarding my investments, savings and other financial related matters. I'm 28-years old and I have lived for several years a life where savings was just a mean to cover unforeseeable costs and did not see it as capital that could be invested and generate returns. The problem wasn't that I didn't want to invest my money in the stock market, it was a lack of comprehension and motivation that led me to stay away from something I did not feel familiar with. Now, however, times have changed. My interest in stocks everything it entails has skyrocketed, and every month I save money to invest in companies I truly believe in. During the beginning of 2017, I began to invest more considerable amounts into different stocks and mutual funds, trying to find a strategy which suited my risk appetite. I did a lot of beginners mistak
