While I still reported the first half of 2021, ever since my daughter came into my life, I lacked time to create a Q3 report. This report will thus be for the last half of 2021, i.e., Q3 and Q4.

Portfolio summary

Portfolio shuffle with excellent results for 2021

I said in Q2 that the pandemic was almost behind us; how wrong I was. The Omikron variant made us all realize otherwise. Interesting enough, this isn’t visible from my investments. Heck, 2021 was a stellar year for my investments thanks to a strong second half.

There are some important changes, though. I closed a couple of ETFs and reduced my position in some individual stocks. Nothing major, as my asset allocation, is still around 65% ETF / 35% stocks. As for the individual stocks I still have, Most of the growth stocks I picked aren’t doing too great. Especially my so-called “meme stocks” are blood red.

Crypto boom part 3

As for my other investments, such as my portfolio with Beobank and cryptocurrencies, well, they keep ongoing.

Thanks to m diversification into the crypto portfolio Crypto.com I added to my initial investment and now deposited €3678.57. I mainly did it to get the Jade Green crypto.com card after my amazing experience with Ruby Steel. It rocketed to the moon and is now worth over €11,000! I even reached €20,000 at one point.

Reevaluating my apartment’s value

As you may notice in the below table, I removed the past and current wealth numbers for all my assets, including the apartment. While doing this half-year review, I spotted some inconsistencies between what I said in the past and what I calculated now.

Because I only detected it last minute, I haven’t been able to rectify the miscalculated numbers everywhere, so I prefer to leave the table empty. But don’t worry, I will redo past posts and provide the correct picture asap.

Lynx portfolio overview

The last half of 2021 had an amazing run but right before the end it abruptly stopped. I even outperformed the Nasdaq 100 and IWDA up until November. However due to some individual stocks’ horrible performance last month it crashed in December.

My portfolio as a whole did better than VT so there’s that. Especially NVDA keeps going strong. Also KIN recovered nicely.

Performance in 2021

When we talk for the whole of 2021 I did better overall than all the aforementioned indexes. I gained 36.39% in 2021.

Cumulative Return of my Lynx portfolio in 2021
My personal portfolio at Lynx made excellent progress in with 36.39%.

The main contributor to this performance was Nvidia. It contributed 9.57% to these gains. Other noticeable performers were:

Trading actions

I’m introducing a new section to more easily show my past transactions. The below table contains the trades I performed over the given period.

While my portfolio did excellent over the entire year, I decided to ditch three ETF’s that were merely shadowing the broader indexes instead of outperforming them:

  • SXR1 (/CPXJ) – ISHARES CORE MSCI PACIF X-JP
  • CSX5 – ISHARES CORE EURO STOXX 50
  • SBIO – INVESCO NASDAQ BIOTECH

Instead of these, I decided to focus on:

  • S&P 500
  • NASDAQ 100
  • US SMALL CAPS
  • VANGUARD FTSE ALL WORLD

Actively managed portfolio CLOSED

My Beobank investment account made an amazing recovery which makes the return half-decent after almost 6 years.

And because I got more confident in sticking to my plan I decided to close this account and instead put it in a new Interactive Brokers account.

Ending my Beobank portfolio at a high was a good call. Taking dividends into account, my total return was 55.48% or 7.63% annual. I totaled 30,285.16 and in the end, I made €10,806.19 in profits. I was able to reinvest into a new Interactive Brokers account.

Interactive Brokers portfolio overview

I decided to go the opposite with my Interactive Brokers account. Instead of investing in (actively) traded funds, I’m going with a couple of individual stocks which I believe could perform well over the next years.

Since it’s a new portfolio a comparison between the last report and this report isn’t possible.
I did add 7.1554% to my initial investment.

My gains come from the following companies:

Pension fund

My pension fund fluctuated a bit to the upside but nothing major.

Important of this portfolio is that I stopped the automatic deposit. I will not add to this account and most likely will leave it alone as of now. I’d even dare to say that I will let it alone till my retirement.

I’m now at 24.01% profit.

Alternative investments

I call them investments, but they are more like speculative positions and with good reason.

The last half of 2021 saw both a strong run and a subsequent decline in crypto. At the present time (09/02/2022) it seems that they are starting to climb back up ever so slightly, though it’s without much strength for now but still with high volatility.

Because of this increased volatility, I report my crypto at the time of writing. Funny enough, this is a similar level as at the end of July for my coinbase account. My crypto.com account on the other hand, what a run that had!

I’m ecstatic with my choice because Crypto.com’s coin, CRO, gave me spectacular gains, as you can see in the table below.

P.S.: see the coins with 0.00? That means I withdrew my initial investment and have no risk attached to them anymore it also means I can’t calculate a percentage gain or loss as it’s pure profit.

Crypto.com

Did I already mention the amazing gains of this portfolio?

Thanks to my stake in CRO my crypto.com portfolio jumped from €1,469.81 at the end of Q2 to €12,714.16 now. Including the new deposits, I gained  245.63%.

Savings accounts

In Q3 and Q4 I transferred a total of 10,000 out of my savings account into my Lynx investment account. I didn’t do anything else besides that though it does have a large impact on my savings obviously.

The main reason is that I didn’t see a reason to keep that much in my savings account.

Real estate portfolio

I know you can’t combine the cash I already put into the apartment and the mortgage since one is an asset and the other a liability, so I made two tables.

One table has my (growing) asset. The apartment which will increase as I pay for the construction and other things linked to the appartment. Unlike previous quarters, this time I took apart my payments for full transparancy. All prices you see are incl. 21% VAT unless excempt by definition (which are deposits). I do keep furniture separate as it’s a depreciating asset.

Over the years the estimated value will also change based on new estimations, but for now I leave them based on still to pay construction costs and a guestimate of 7K for furniture.

The other table contains the liability, my mortgage, that I will pay off month by month in the form of a principal payment + some interest.

All prices are in euro.

Asset

Liability

I'm a developer for a major financial institution in Belgium that is present in over 40 countries. I have over 8 years of working experience in the development of customer applications focussing on all aspects of banking. This helped me gain a deep understanding of the inner workings of a commercial bank. All of this experience in both banking and life culminates in this blog about personal finance and my fight towards FIRE.
