Investing is a marathon, not a sprint
Hello everyone! This is Santiago1000, Champion Level Popular Investor (Red Star) on eToro, and I welcome you to another weekly review of my portfolio. It has been a week of solid progress and valuable lessons, where discipline and long-term vision continued to deliver positive results.
Steady Growth, Low Risk
In terms of performance, the S&P 500 closed the week with a slight gain of 0.3%, while the Nasdaq slipped 0.6%. Despite this mixed backdrop, my portfolio remained resilient and tracked closely with the indices. Year-to-date, my portfolio is up +15.01%, clearly outperforming the S&P 500 at +9.95%. 🚀 This differential is the result of consistent strategy and careful asset selection, which have allowed me to surpass the market with controlled risk.
On risk management: I maintain a conservative and strategic approach. My Risk Score remains low, I use no leverage, and I keep the portfolio well diversified. This diversification acts as a buffer in times of volatility and ensures that no single position compromises overall stability. For those seeking sustainable growth without shocks, I believe this balanced approach is essential.
Among my positions, several names stood out this week. Adtalem ($ATGE) rose +4.72% after strong quarterly results in the education sector, showing the strength of its business model. British private equity firm 3i Group ($III.L) advanced +3.5% on positive portfolio performance. In technology, Tesla ($TSLA) gained +2.86% as investor confidence in EV growth returned. Meanwhile, JPMorgan ($JPM) added +1.98% on the resilience of large banks in a stable environment. These gains highlight how my portfolio’s diversification captures opportunities across multiple sectors.
On the macro front, markets remained cautious ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole, with investors looking for clarity on interest rates. Despite short-term uncertainty, I remain cautiously optimistic. By focusing on quality companies with solid fundamentals, we can navigate turbulence and stay on course for long-term gains.
I also want to share an important reminder: investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Patience and healthy habits—such as monthly deposits and reinvesting returns—let compound interest work in your favour. Consistency in accumulating quality assets and resisting emotional decisions is the key to sustainable wealth building.
