Summary & Conclusion

Down month for everything including the S&P500 which had a downturn of -4.22%.

Made some update, past performance numbers are updated.

Added a savings account to this portfolio that has exposure in EU tech stocks as well as US tech stops. As of now it is the largest position in this strategy but this will soon fall in line with the other investments.

Monthly performance

Monthly returns of our DCA strategy compared to that of the S&P.

Better performance then the S&P this month. Mostly because our larger positions has more exposure in EU.

Our DCA Strategy

Best Month: 3,01%
Worst Month: -2,07%
Average: 1.12%

S&P 500

Best Month: 1.5%
Worst Month: 5.1%
Average: 1.37%

*Since inception Jan 2024

Monthly Compound Returns

Here we compound all the returns month over month. We do the same for the S&P 500 so we can see if we are outperforming or underperforming the S&P 500.

Result: Moving along with the S&P, closing the gap.

Overall idea / goal: Since most of our positions are in S&P ETFs this should stay similar, if not we need to take a closer look at which positions are not performing well.

Monthly performance

Monthly returns of our DCA strategy compared to that of the S&P.

Last month we had a +50% uptrend for our crypto holdings which gave a spike up. This month crypto normalized a bit lower (avg. -2.8%) then its February high which is reflected in this month returns.

Other positions performed well and in tandem with the S&P.

Our DCA Strategy

Best Month: 14.4%
Worst Month: 0.9%
Average: 5.5%

S&P 500

Best Month: 1.5%
Worst Month: 5.1%
Average: 3.2%

Monthly Compound Returns

Here we compound all the returns month over month. We do the same for the S&P 500 so we can see if we are outperforming or underperforming the S&P 500.

Result: Outperforming the S&P 500

Conclusion: Flattening out since we only had 0.9% return this month, previous month had a spike because of a crypto run.

Overall idea / goal: Since most of our positions are in S&P ETFs this should stay similar, if not we need to take a closer look at which positions are not performing well.

Summary & Conclusion

Last month we had a high return (at least for a general market strategy like this) mostly due to some crypto holdings.

Markets have also been performing extremely well the past year. It wouldn't be abnormal if we see a downtrend soon.

Numbers for this strategy are still a bit volatile since it's only been 3 months since inception.
Still need to add positions for REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) and Commodities.
