Risk by choice

A strategy built on intentional risk, long-term thinking, and discipline when markets get difficult.

Risk has been a constant part of my growth, both in life and in finance.
For me, choosing risk is choosing responsibility, patience, and progress.

I protect my capital with a risk management framework that emphasizes diversification, position sizing, and disciplined execution. I embrace volatility as an opportunity for growth.

Strategy snapshot

Holding period

6+ months

When copying me I recommend holding positions for at least 6 months. Some ideas take longer to play out, so I do not think it is advisable to copy me unless you are comfortable giving the strategy time.

Yearly target CAGR

25%

My yearly target compound annual growth rate is +25%. It is ambitious, but it reflects the type of companies and sectors I want to focus on.

Risk score

High

Like any strategy, mine comes with risk. I try to manage it, but I also accept heavy drawdowns and volatility, which will not suit everyone.

What this strategy means

The core idea behind the strategy.

Risk has been a constant part of my growth, both in life and in finance. My growth comes from taking risks when I understand them and accept their consequences. For me, choosing risk is choosing responsibility, patience, and opportunity. I do not pretend to get everything right, and I still make mistakes along the way. What matters to me is learning, adapting, and improving with each step.

Core belief

There's no such thing as risk-free growth.
Real progress comes with discomfort.
The point is not to avoid that discomfort, but to understand why it is worth taking on.

Three pillars

Flexibility, growth, and long-term stability in one system.

Tactical

Swing trades

Swing trades give my strategy room to move. They allow me to act on opportunities that appear when markets react too strongly in one direction. These positions are never random. I look for clear setups where risk and reward make sense, and I stay disciplined with entries and exits.

Predefined price targets

Growth

Developing companies and sectors

This pillar focuses on growth. I invest in companies and sectors that are still developing, where future potential matters more than the present state. These investments can be volatile, but they reflect my belief that meaningful growth often comes with uncertainty.

Trade duration

1-3 years

Foundation

Compounding stability

This is the foundation of my strategy. By consistently accumulating ETFs, I build stability and long-term balance into my portfolio. This pillar keeps me grounded and gives me patience to take calculated risks elsewhere without losing control.

What is risk?

Understanding the source of growth and volatility in the strategy.

To me, risk is something very human, it is the space where growth happens. My view on risk comes from my own life choices. Each time I stepped out of my comfort zone, whether it was buying investment properties, moving abroad, starting something new, or challenging myself in ways that felt uncomfortable, I faced moments of stress, anxiety, and doubt. Those moments were never easy, but they shaped me. They taught me patience, self-awareness, and the value of choosing a direction even when the outcome is not guaranteed.
Because of that, I do not see risk as something to avoid, I see it as something to understand. When you take a risk with intention and clear thinking, it becomes manageable. It becomes a tool rather than a threat. Blind risk, the kind without thought or purpose, has never interested me. But chosen risk, the kind you step into with awareness and responsibility, has pushed me forward both personally and financially.
My financial background did not grow from this mindset, it grew from the opposite where safe and supposedly risk-free options were often advised. I realised early on that numbers matter, but so does the story behind them, and the responsibility you take on when you make a decision with your own money. When I look at an investment, I am not just checking figures. I ask whether I understand it well enough to stand behind it, whether the potential reward reflects the weight of the risk, and whether it aligns with how I want to grow.
That is why my strategy carries the name Risk by choice. It reflects the way I see life: meaningful steps often come with uncertainty, but when the choice is made with clarity and intention, the journey becomes worth it.

Current note

Currently my portfolio is not sufficiently balanced to execute the three pillars properly, and my rules and conditions have been adjusted to prevent me from having no liquidity in the future, but this remains the direction I am working towards (06/2026).
