25 year trading experiment
25 Year Trading Experiment
In January 2025, I launched an ambitious long-term challenge: to actively trade against a global index benchmark over 25 years. The structure is simple:
Every month, I invest 10,000 SEK (~$1,000), split evenly between:
- 🌍 A passive portfolio - invested in Storebrand Global All Countries A SEK (tracking the MSCI ACWI Index).
- 🌊 An active portfolio - where I apply my own High-conviction Trading strategies.
The Goal:
Successfully outperform a global index over a 25 Year time period.
