Update: Concentrated portfolio December 2020
This is my concentrated portfolio per 31/12/2020. The top three companies are Bakkafrost, Apple and Pareto Bank, which have cumulative weights of around 46 % of my portfolio. The cumulative weight for the concentrated portfolio is 63 % (the diversified portfolio make up the remaining 37 %). The fate of the top three companies will clearly have a dominant effect on the portfolio as a whole. I have held these companies for a while, and I hope to hold them for a long time.
Since the last update in October, the concentrated portfolio is up around 13 %. For the full year 2020, the return of my concentrated portfolio is around 12 %. The strongest performers are Apple (up 58 %) and Huddly (up 92 %). In the last quarter, I sold Kraft Bank at around 14 kr per share (average cost 8 kr per share). I have also sold Sparebanken Møre and increased my holding in Kid and started a new position in Swedish Match. I continue to hold my base position (100k shares) in Hunter Group, and have moved from a net debt to a net cash position in the last quarter.

My total return is based on the following simplified measure: (market value of position + dividends + realized profits)/(historical cost price) - 100 % accumulated for each of the companies I own. Hence this is on a non-reinvested basis. I have reinvested, but not necessarily in the same company at the same time. I have usually built up the positions over time, and the time given in the table (Held since) indicates when I started buying. I use FIFO in my accounting, and use NOK as currency. Cost prices for US shares are expressed in USD using today's exchange rate. Maybe one day, I will move my book over from Excel to Python to create more accurate measures. For the 10Y performance, I have used Yahoo Finance and Adj. close prices (adjusted for dividends and splits, in local currency) and for US share, I have used DQYDJ calculator.
I plan to go write more about the companies in the diversified portfolio. You may follow me on twitter as @eivinderiksen and leave any comments you may have there. |
