Portfolio Update

As we head deeper into Q2 of 2025, it’s time to share a new update on my investment portfolio. While the markets remain volatile due to interest rate concerns, inflation pressure, and global uncertainty, I’m continuing to focus on long-term investing, diversification, and strategic growth opportunities.

To begin with, I’ve added MercadoLibre to my portfolio. Known as the “Amazon of Latin America,” MercadoLibre is not only a leader in e-commerce but also in digital payments through Mercado Pago. Because of its rapid expansion in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, MELI offers exciting exposure to emerging markets. Moreover, its strong fundamentals and innovation-driven model made it a compelling choice for my growth allocation.

In addition to this new holding, I’m still keeping my position in JPMorgan Global Equity Premium Income ETF (Dist). This monthly dividend-paying ETF provides consistent income while offering broad exposure to global equities. Furthermore, its covered call strategy adds a layer of downside protection — something I value during these uncertain times.

On the crypto front, I continue to hold XRP (Ripple). While regulatory developments remain a challenge in the U.S., I believe Ripple’s practical use case for cross-border payments gives it a unique edge. As always, I view crypto as a high-risk, high-reward component of my diversified portfolio.

Overall, my portfolio remains well-balanced with dividend ETFs, growth stocks, and cryptocurrency holdings. Each asset serves a distinct purpose, whether it’s generating income, delivering capital appreciation, or providing exposure to future technologies.

In conclusion, I remain focused on the long term. I believe consistency, research, and patience are key to building wealth over time.
