Noteworthy Portfolios: January 2026
3 standout public portfolios created by the EuroFolio community this month, picked from a pool of 18 for genuine strategy variety and interest — not just the highest backtest return.
A Permanent Portfolio With Staying Power
Diversified EUR-based portfolio with small caps exposure, annual rebalancing strategy for long-term wealth building and portfolio stability.
Nearly half the portfolio sits in bonds and another quarter in gold, making this the defensive outlier in the month’s shortlist. The trade-off is clear: its return trails the equity-heavy entries, but the 10.6% maximum drawdown over a 5.7-year test shows how effectively the allocation has contained shocks. The small-cap equity sleeve adds a modest return-seeking edge without changing the portfolio’s preservation-first character.
A Mixed Portfolio With More Bite
Optimized corporate bond portfolio rebalanced annually for steady income and capital preservation with diversified fixed income exposure.
Despite being described as a corporate-bond strategy, this portfolio is driven primarily by equities: VWRA and a technology ETF together account for 55%, with gold supplying a substantial diversifier. That makes its seven-year result more impressive but also explains why the drawdown was closer to 20% than a cautious income portfolio might suggest. The combination is an intriguing middle ground between a conventional global stock portfolio and a genuine capital-preservation mix.
A High-Conviction Factor Cocktail
Matteo diversified ETF portfolio: 40% global value, 35% tech, 25% emerging markets with monthly rebalancing in EUR.
This is a deliberately assertive allocation, with 75% split between global value and technology and the remaining quarter devoted to emerging markets. The mix delivered strong long-run growth across 7.7 years, but its 32.5% maximum drawdown is a reminder that the three sleeves can all punish investors at once. It looks more like a satellite growth portfolio than a comfortable one-fund core holding.
