We also do not buy certain financial products for risk reasons, e.g. leverage products. We also avoid complex financial products such as swaps, etc. We focus almost exclusively on shares. In addition, we have a pair of certificates in the portfolio, e.g. on cryptocurrencies. The share of cryptos in the portfolio must not exceed a certain limit. This is because due to the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, the entire portfolio is pulled along in both directions.
In the beginning, we had a lot of ETFs in the portfolio. This was because we had much lower volume at the beginning. So we wanted to spread our risk as much as we could. This was best achieved by using ETFs. Since our portfolio now contains more than 40 positions, we sold the last ETF in February 2022.
The most exotic product we had in our portfolio until now was a certificate on the EUAs, i.e. on the pollution certificates or the certificate on the right on CO2 emission. More precisely, it is a certificate on another certificate.
However, we do not market ourselves as green investors. For example, we currently own Shell shares. Much more we try not to cross certain moral boundaries.
