Shoutout to investment professionals, input on my investment approach (personal account)
Hello,
I have been investing passively and have built a diversified portfolio consisting equities, bonds and gold where I have had ok returns (nothing sexy) by applying rebalancing twice annually. I have decided to become more active and start doing my own idea generation in a separate portfolio (10% of passive portfolio value approx. to start with) and was wondering what you think of this structure:
Step1. Market indicators and macro environment
- Yield curves (10yr vs 2yr for my home market, and other markets)
- Household debt
- Consumer confidence index
- Baltic dry index
- Inventory levels, manufacturing and retail sales
Step 2. Themes
- Renewables (lithium prospecting and recycling, solar power etc)
- Anti-plastic regulations (pulp industry)
- Cybersecurity
- Medical marijuana
etc.
Step 3. Vertical striping of industries
Based on the themes, I find interesting industries that might benefit and grow.
Step 4. Companies
- Look at competitive advantage (brand, innovation, management)
- Value drivers (ROIC and growth)
- Valuation metrics
- Comp spreading
What do you think of this approach, have I missed something or should I implement other steps? Long read, cheers for input!
Hey TomFord, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
