Abstract

ortfolio. I am a new investor in P2P (less than 2 years) and I am having quite good returns without much effort (between 8% and 13%) depending on the platform. There is a major risk I can see for P2P which is recession behavior. Most of the platforms, loan originators, etc did not handle a recession before so in my view that will always limit its weight on my portfolio. Same goes for private equity as liquidity is really long term and the failure rate of startups is really high. Therefore, little money goes into it.</p><p id="7cd1">So now let’s jump into the percentages:</p><figure id="daab"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*2Nyi3wM91bqGDAd4q83psg.png"><figcaption>Asset Allocation June 2019</figcaption></figure><p id="91ef">So as mentioned my stock market asset class is the biggest chunk of the pie. No surprise here. I do hold different accounts for different purposes and when adding everything up <b>I have 37% of my money directly and indirectly into stocks.</b></p><p id="0b84">Then in second place is money with 32%. Why? Several reasons actually. So a <b>6-month emergency fund that covers not only my monthly expenses but also some free-float</b>. Also, I am expecting some relevant expenses on furniture and house works in the coming 6 to 8 months so I am keeping more money aside.</p><p id="cbe1" type="7">“ I had the temptation of investing the money I would need in a short time frame and I got burned so I learned my lesson.”</p><p id="752c">Also, a possible recession or a strong pull back on the stock market, are other reasons that make me hold a little bit more cash than what I would normally do.</p><p id="5d15"><b>Then are my savings with 25%</b>. Money that is not really growing that much but I get some tax benefits with a guaranteed interest rate. I could argue this is not the best ROI products but bring safety and predictability to my portfolio.</p><p id="8dea">Finally, the 2 small chunks are just a way to get a little extra on money that I call the “play money”. I take the change the chance to have higher returns for a little more risk on money that in theory would not cause an impact on my financial life. <b>But obviously losing money always has an impact on any investor.</b></p><h1 id="12d9">The Next Month Plan</h1><p id="6632">Depending on how the stock market behaves the next weeks and whether we are expecting the Fed to cut rates we might have a small rally in the stock market. On the other hand, <b>we are still under a volatile environment with all the trade wars</b>. The bond market can also be seen as s
