    For almost a decade now, I´ve been an index-beating value investor, and for quite some time I’ve been considering how to bring you along on this journey.
    By joining me in a more practical, case-by-case, and private setting, I believe you can get yourself a headstart on your path toward financial freedom. Therefore, I’ve decided to launch a Patreon with exclusive content, revealing my full portfolio and all the action that comes with it.
    For people like us, who may not have a large inheritance, exceptional athletic or music skills, or anything else that can catapult us instantly into early retirement, stock market investments remain the most reliable way to financial success. All that is needed is a sound intellectual framework and time. The earlier you start and the earlier you develop the required tools for successful stock-picking, the earlier you’ll reach financial freedom, simple as that. What would some extra percentage points in increased performance do for your future wealth? Cutting a couple of decades from your working life is within your reach if that’s your choice.
    I started investing on the 6th of August 2013. Since then, my portfolio has returned 19.5% on invested capital Also, keep in mind that this includes my whole investment journey since I purchased my very first stock. I’m optimistic that the cumulative experience gained from a decade in the market and around 100 books on investing will positively impact my results going forward. Finally, the performance has not been achieved through some single big homerun, but rather through the combined effort of many investments and avoidance of any real big misses.

    My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

    Hey guys! It’s been a couple of months since I started to share my full stock market portfolio together with write-ups on all the companies I own. It’s a community meant for those of you who are into stock-picking and appreciate a hands-on and practical approach to learning and growing.
    We’re off to a good start, but I can’t help but feel too many were left out. The biggest reason - judging by your comments in this video - seems to be the pricing - and that’s my fault. Many of you have expressed a wish to join, but that $45 is too much. Well, I appreciate your opinion, and now we’re making some changes.
    I have lowered the price of the tier called “Complete Portfolio Insight” by almost 30%. In addition, and this part is really exciting, we’re introducing a new tier - “Sneak-Peek”. The new tier is $11 and includes all our Deep Dives - thoroughly written reports of every stock in my portfolio. This tier lets you understand my process and reasoning in great detail so you may take inspiration for your own process and portfolio. So, a great deal of value, but for a much lower price.
    Check out the new and updated tiers at Patreon! www.patreon.com/TheSwedishInvestor
    Cheers!

    I’ve never been a Patron, but this was going to be my first. 45 euros a month? This pricing is institutional investor level. I’m guessing most of the viewers here are 18-25 and can’t drop 50 dollars on a subscription that provides the content of a portfolio.
    Now, the 90% of people who would’ve become patrons at a 10$ pricepoint will find out the companies in your portfolio for free using when someone shares it.
    Patreon is meant to support your favorite creator. This just feels like a way to extract money out of your audience. I would really like to see what is your take-home compared to a 10$ pricing.

We actually tried to differentiate the price depending on the country that people come from, but Patreon as a platform can't provide that yet. We can't, however, cater to everyone, and for some people this should be a bargain, mostly depending on their current level of income/nest-egg size, and their ambitions for investing.

    I agree this guy charging $540 a year to see his investing tips or whatever is ridiculous IMO, 'I've made 20% a year for 10 years blah blah blah' great he made some money in one of the best ever times to invest in the history of the stock market for a retail investor. I will not be handing over my money to some random just because they have picked some stocks over the years that have done well, if I wanted that I would go over to WSBs and jump on the hype train to the moon until it all comes crashing down.
    I own individual stocks, ETFs, closed ended funds, a single mutual fund etc., I am very happy to invest in different investment approaches but at the current time this is not one that I will use and I would suggest other people avoid aswell, too many issues with something like this for a regular investor to even touch with a barge pole so to speak.
    This guy maybe very good at investing but how can you trust this guy without his portfolio being public, open history of investments, risk management approaches in place that actual fund managers have etc,. The only fund managers I trust with my money are Berkshire, Fundsmith and Pershing Square as of now, at some point in the future I may change my mind or add to that list but they are 3 solid investment companies/ funds that have the investors money in safe hands and I can sleep at night with the money i invest into their investment approaches.
    As an aside I also found it quite funny when he said if we don't beat the Dow Jones World Index (that no one uses to compare performance against) we will change our name, instead of saying we will refund your patreon money XD.

  • @nikolovesfood
    @nikolovesfood 10 місяців тому +50

    It sounds very promising and valuable, but given that this is supposed to help out new investors, it is a hefty price. If you have 5k to invest, $500 a year is like a 10% fee, diminishing practically all the upside, even if 19,5% are still being achieved.
    Are the deep dive analyses available immediately, or do they come bit by bit? As a one-time buy, it could be a great thing to see the practical application of all that theoretical knowledge. But for the monthly payment, it's steep if one has less than a good 5 figures to work with.

    • @TheSwedishInvestor
      @TheSwedishInvestor  10 місяців тому +1

      Dandylion98 cheers for your comment. Regarding the price, a lot of effort is involved in picking stocks the way we do and presenting the material well. Also, the opportunity costs for us are high as well. We know that $45 is not ideal for everyone, but for some people, this should be a bargain price, depending on how much money you have now and your investment ambitions. You can't think of this as a management fee, as we are revealing our portfolio and our investment strategy.
      The deep dives will be published continuously. The first one is very nearly done. In the future, they will always be published together with a new investment.

    @TheNewLooter 10 місяців тому +61

    I'm not a financial/marketing expert but perhaps it would be a good idea to make the price cheaper early on and increase it as the strategy is proven? Right now if we assume that around 80% of your viewers (assumption made based on "Why Some Stocks are Cheap" video) have something like $500 to invest per month, they're much better off just going with S&P500, which doesn't seem to be doing much worse than your portfolio in the 10 year time frame. By reducing the price to something like $10, a far greater portion of your audience could get into the patreon without it being a straight up bad financial decision.

      The strategy is clearly proven because he’s been investing since 2023 - a 10yr performance chart is about as good as anyone could provide. The only fair criticism is whilst they outperform the market there’s a time cost to having to manage your portfolio yourself when you could just pay a far smaller fee to an ETF that’ll manage itself….
      People want to beat the market with no extra work, that’s the real issue here. You can beat the market but how much time and energy are you going to have to put into researching companies and making assessments of a good buy price?

      ​@wehoongry I don't think the Swedish Investor generally recommends index funds for building wealth.
      His videos usually say that investing in a small number of stocks that you researched well is best, without much diversification.
      Unless you want a completely hands-off approach, in which case the index fund is better than a managed fund.
      But I don't think that's really relevant here, this Patreon (and arguably the entire channel) is for folks who want to do active investing.

    • @wehongryy
      @wehongryy 10 місяців тому +2

      @@NobodyInTraining That's a fair point. I'm conflating the purpose of the channel and the Patreon with the advice of some of the books he has reviewed. That being said, I would argue that the majority of his audience is likely still people who SHOULD be investing in index funds, and paying for his patreon would put them in a position he has posed in some of his videos where you blindly follow someone else's portfolio and choices because they tell you they are "beating the market" and you can too. Personally I view selling your market beating portfolio in the current era of finfluencers and the WSB crowd as irresponsible, but of course knowing the free content TSI puts out I'm sure it will be presented as responsibly as possible. Considering all the articles coming out about regulators cracking down on finfluencers, I wish him the best of luck.

    Hello Swedish Investor, great content, but as you said yourself your portfolio you got at a great discount. Now if we just blindly buy the same stocks we most probably buy it at best at a fair price and expect somewhat close to market results. Past performance doesn't guarantee that future performance will be as good. So probably for newcomers it would be better to buy something else.

    Brave action. Unfortunately for both of us I am not going to give away money, but I am curious how you can get a p/e below 10, when your black bottomleft part of the pie (around 8% of portfolio?) has now a p/e of more than 110 ?

      You are correct about this alemadd. We excluded outliers for both of the groups. Much like we excluded P/E 32,000 & 8,000 companies from NYSE + Nasdaq, which otherwise would have resulted in an average P/E for that group of 66, we excluded this company from our own portfolio. We think that by doing that, we were giving a more fair representation of reality - the company you mention trades at a 10y P/E of 7, so I hope you agree with our reasoning here. For total transparency - we also excluded two negative earners from the portfolio, just like we excluded all negative earners from the peer group. Then, finally, for one of our companies, we reduced its historical 10y growth rate down from 27% to 3% because it would affect the average in a way that we didn't feel was representative of reality (but it would have been to our advantage to not adjust that). We didn't include these adjustments in the video because we thought it would confuse people, but, as I hope you agree, we have tried giving as fair of a picture as possible.

I know some charge $10 a month, but I don't think they have the same track record, or provide nearly the same value as we do. A lot of effort is involved in picking stocks the way we do and presenting the material well. Also, the opportunity costs for us are high as well. We know that $45 is not ideal for everyone, but for some people, this should be a bargain price, depending on how much money you have now and your ambitions for investing.

    Thanks Swedish investor for the video and congratulations on your performance! I have a question regarding FCFE and Owner Earnings, which I was hoping you could help me out with. Why specifically does Warren Buffett use Owner Earnings and not FCFE? I was thinking about the definition of FCFE, which raised a concern. Let's say that a business produced $100m in FCFE. Of the $100m, they paid $20m in dividends, and retained the remaining $80m. This $80m goes straight to the cash pile... Now let's assume that the management spends this $80m recklessly in projects that produce nothing. You could view this $80m as being wasted essentially. Therefore, you couldn't conclude that intrinsic value is just the PV of future cash flows because a large portion of those cash flows were not distributed to you the owner, but rather, they were wasted. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance with this. I think Warren's Buffett's use of Owner Earnings may address this issue. Thanks a lot.

    Best of luck to you. I think the slightly negative reaction is because you're trying to sell it too hard, and to everyone.
    We did a similar mistake with an influencer recently at my company, so I gave this some thought. I think you should frame it more like
    "This is not for everyone. For many of you, if you have just little money to invest, the fees would not be worth it. But it's the number one question i get asked, and it's there for those who want it. I wanted to write a proper analysis for everything, and the time investment only makes sense if we charge a high fee for it. PS. the 19.5% is historically correct, but it's by no means a guarantee for the future."
    Also.. I get that the woman in the beginning was a joke, but it still makes you seem full of yourself. "My portfolio has arrived, everyone should rejoice!" It's not the price that people have a problem with.

      I wanted to recommend a book called The Curve by Nicholas Lowell. It's a pretty badly written book, but the subject is important for online pricing for creators.
      Based on the book, maybe offering a lower priced tier (eg. without the analysis or no stock info at all) could be an option for people who just want to support you. It would make it seem more reasonably priced for the average viewer, and the high paying option would still be there for your superfans.

Also, let's say the guy bought meta in his portfolio or netflix and it recovered in the last few months thus greatly contributing to his overall returns. Can he have the same confidence and say that those two holdings will go on to perform just as well and deliver 19% y/y results in the future ?

Literally any fund works in the same way, the S&P500 if you buy in you are buying in at all time highs on some stocks (Apple, MSFT, , NVDIA etc.,). If a fund performs well on average every year it really makes no difference at what point you buy in.
      Just as an example lets say a stock just hit ATH but you are scared to invest, let's say 2 years ago the stock was higher are you now more likely to invest just because its not at ATH? That is human emotion leading your investing and while I do relate to that, it is a fundamental mistake in investing which many people make, even Warren Buffet admits he made a mistake with Walmart once it started going up he didn't want to buy more and then it just kept going and he never invested more into it.

Maybe your broker provides you a TWR, and you’re higher annual return could be due to the fact that you invested heavier in periods of “fear” and/or you had better return in the recent years when your portfolio is larger.. I’d argue that by giving a MWR number you shouldn’t say that you invested for 10 yrs, as the avg investment time is shorter, but it’s a technicality.

In future, when talking about your portfolio, etc you need to appear on camera talking to your audience. People will want to research you to ensure they are getting the real deal. The idea of you changing the channel name from Swedish Investor to Swedish Speculator is a meaningless gesture and not convincing at all.
    Buy the way, subscription is too expensive for most people.

    Comparing to DJ World is probably fair since you are investing globally. However, had you compared to SPX, your portfolio would only be a little better off. In other words, buy and holding SPY would be about the same performance, if you mix in some QQQ you would be underperforming.

      Hey JJ-io4pe! The SPY has done 170% during the same period, so no, there would still be a large overperformance :)

      @@TheSwedishInvestor I see you are correct since you were comparing the last 10 years. For some reason, I thought you had said since 2010.

    Why not just make a fund? I'm more likely to put money there than for Patreon.

    Oh but wait. It’s not a reveal, it’s a payment scheme for your subscribers.

    Stocks are falling and bond yields are rising, but markets still don’t seem convinced the Federal Reserve will pursue plans to keep increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $117k stocck portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
