Equity Mates Media
About this episode

“What was I thinking?” “A shit show to be honest”,


The last 5 years have been a wild ride in markets. Our portfolios tell that story. Today we directly compare what our portfolios looked like in 2020 to today in 2025 to see: how much we’ve learnt, the biggest position changes and whether we've been practicing what we preach? 


We cover: 

- A full breakdown of every holding in our 2020 core AND satellite portfolios

- How that compares to our 2025 holdings

- What asset allocations have changed the most and why 

- Our biggest holding, allocation or strategy change from 2020 to 2025
