Balanced Global Growth (Trade Republic)

A straightforward growth portfolio with global diversification and a tech tilt. Rebalanced annually to maintain target weights.

The Strategy:

  • 50% world quality stocks (ACWI) as the main holding
  • 25% Asian emerging markets for extra growth
  • 15% world technology sector for innovation exposure
  • 10% physical gold for downside protection

Who it's for: Long-term investors who want simple, broad market exposure with some growth punch from tech and emerging markets. The annual rebalancing keeps the portfolio on track.

Risk level: Medium. Half the portfolio is in stable global stocks, but the emerging markets and tech portions add volatility. Gold helps cushion market drops.
