The Portfolio Management Division focuses on educating its members about the world of investments by helping them build an investor’s mindset through the operation of a real portfolio. This involves staying updated with current political, economic and market trends, in order to constantly source opportunities. With this knowledge, analytical reports are produced on individual stocks or ETFs that can complement the portfolio, along with analyzing and reporting the overall portfolio performance.
The focus is to maximize portfolio growth as any returns which surpass our benchmark (i.e. MSCI WORLD IDX) will be donated to a charity designated by the Investment Club as a whole, fostering a collective commitment to social impact. Any positions we hold are carefully picked and abide by our investment thesis:
“We aim to invest in both momentum-driven opportunities and high-quality, undervalued businesses with strong fundamentals and promising long-term prospects. Our strategy is adaptable to changing market conditions, targeting medium to long-term value creation across global equity markets.”

PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT

Last year provided a truly unique backdrop for geopolitical tension, central bank intervention, energy market swings, and a change in investor sentiment, all factors considered highly influential in our portfolio decisions and performance. Each event had to be monitored closely and strategically adjusted within the Cattolica Investment Club’s portfolio to reap the maximum returns possible while managing risks. Since the inception of our portfolio last year, we managed to produce a 53.26% return, compared to 26.41% from the S&P 500.
