Hello Copiers, Followers, and eTorians!

Welcome to my portfolio update for May 2025.

Performance Overview

  • April: +7%
  • YTD: -7.93%
  • 2024 Performance: +46.68%
  • Risk Score: 6
  • Active Copiers: 17

Market Insights: May 2025

May 2025 brought a strong wave of optimism to global financial markets, fueled by diplomatic breakthroughs, resilient economic data, and key corporate earnings despite some underlying macroeconomic concerns.

U.S. Stock Market Performance

U.S. equities rallied in May, supported by geopolitical progress and strong investor sentiment:

  • S&P 500: +6.15%

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average: +3.94%

  • Nasdaq Composite: +9.56%

The market was buoyed by multiple tailwinds. Notably, the postponement of a proposed 50% tariff on EU imports until July 9, and a new trade agreement between the U.S. and the UK, signaled potential relief from broader trade tensions. Even more encouraging, the U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs for a 90-day trial period, helping lift global risk appetite.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s announcement of a $600 billion investment plan in the U.S., coinciding with President Trump’s visit, further fueled bullish sentiment.

From a macroeconomic perspective, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 4.25–4.50%, with Chair Powell emphasizing the need for flexibility in future decisions.

While GDP and jobless claims came in weaker than expected, the data was offset by a surge in the Consumer Confidence Index to 98.0 (from 85.7) and a decline in inflation expectations from 7.0% to 6.5%.

Finally, corporate earnings added fuel to the rally. Tech giant NVIDIA delivered another strong quarter, helping lift the Nasdaq to its best monthly performance of the year.

Cryptocurrency Market

Crypto assets also performed exceptionally well in May, following a recovery in sentiment and institutional interest:

  • Bitcoin: +11.6%, breaking above $100,000 and reaching a new all time high near $112,000

  • Ethereum: +40.95%, boosted by whale accumulation and ETF inflows

Portfolio Snapshot

Current Asset Allocation:

  • 30% Stocks
  • 44% ETFs
  • 14% Crypto
  • 12% Cash

My risk score has been 6 throughout May. I have closed some positions to reduce the risk and portfolio volatility.

Outlook

As we enter the summer months, I remain alert to ongoing geopolitical developments, Fed decisions, and market sentiment shifts.

My strategy remains the same: monitor the markets daily, make strategic adjustments, and maximise returns while keeping a medium-risk profile.

Recommendations for Copiers

If you’re considering copying my portfolio, here’s how to make the most of it:

  1. Invest a minimum of $2,000: This ensures proper diversification and mirrors my portfolio effectively.
  2. Focus on the long term: Keep the copy open for an extended period to benefit from compounding and market recoveries.
  3. Starting smaller? Begin with a lower amount and add funds later to build your investment.

Now is still an excellent time to start copying my portfolio or to add more funds if you’re already a copier.

Goals for 2025

  1. Outperform the S&P 500: Aim for another year of market-leading performance.
  2. Maintain a medium risk score: Balance risk and reward effectively.
  3. Achieve Champion Popular Investor status: Grow and strengthen our investment community.
