Hello everyone!
With dedication and a responsible strategy, we closed week 36 of 2025 with solid results and reasons for optimism. My goal is to be a reference in responsible investing, with an approach accessible both to beginners and High-Net-Worth investors. Every week is a step forward in this financial journey, and we remain focused on sustainable growth.
In terms of weekly performance, my portfolio posted a modest rise of +0.27%, almost in line with the S&P 500 (+0.3%). This positive yet steady result demonstrates consistency and resilience in challenging markets. Once again, our long-term strategy proves its effectiveness.
Risk management remains the absolute priority. The portfolio maintains a Risk Score of 4, with a maximum volatility of 2.7%, as shown in the risk chart. We use no leverage, and the portfolio is well-diversified across sectors and asset classes. This approach allows us to remain calm during volatility, ensuring peace of mind while building long-term wealth.
Among the weekly highlights, several positions stood out. Celestica ($CLS) surged +24.61%, while tech giants Alphabet ($GOOG) and Tesla ($TSLA) posted gains of +10.13% and +5.08%, respectively. Gold ($GLD) rose +4.08% as investors sought safe havens, and Apple ($AAPL) added +3.25%, proving once again its resilience. These results confirm the strength of technology and the value of maintaining a diversified portfolio.
On the economic front, the week brought mixed signals, but optimism prevailed that the US Federal Reserve might soon cut rates. This supported growth stocks, especially in tech, while the gold rally showed that investors still seek protection. Markets now await inflation data to confirm the next direction.
Beyond the noise, it is key to remember that investing is not about getting rich overnight. It requires patience, discipline, and consistent monthly deposits. This habit harnesses the power of compound interest and builds wealth gradually. As I state in the Santiago1000 Manifesto: “Every economic decision starts with real people. Investing is anticipating human choices and needs, and allocating capital to satisfy them in the most efficient way.” Behind numbers are people, and investing responsibly means meeting those human needs efficiently.
I also want to welcome all the new copiers and followers who joined recently. Thank you for your trust. The growth of our community motivates me to keep delivering consistent and disciplined results.
Finally, my invitation: if you are not yet copying the Santiago1000 portfolio, join us. Copying this strategy is a practical way to diversify, learn, and work towards your financial goals with peace of mind. With discipline and long-term vision, I am confident we will continue to grow together.
