In order to reach Financial Independence (FI), I am investing as much as possible. My money is invested in stocks in a custom ETF portfolio. I am trying to minimize the fees, diversify my investments and get enough returns to reach FI faster.
I am going to try to keep this page updated along the way with the state of my portfolio. If you are interested, you can see exactly which funds I hold in my investment portfolio. I am only holding Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and only those that use indexing and not active investing.
If you want to design your portfolio yourself, I have a guide on how to design an ETF portfolio from scratch. I also have an article about the best ETF Portfolio for Switzerland where I go into details.
If you have a comment regarding my portfolio, I would be very glad to hear it!
