October was a month of steady accumulation at the core and selective rotation at the edges. Portfellow investors kept pouring money into global index ETFs and income-paying REITs, while profit-taking crept into parts of the AI and big-tech trade.
1. The Core Strategy: Global Diversification
Broad, low-cost index ETFs took the top three spots again — and were bought almost without a seller in sight.
All-World ETF (various providers): the month's volume leader with 56 buyers to just 1 seller.
S&P 500 ETF (various providers): 47 buyers, 4 sellers.
NASDAQ-100 ETF (various providers): 43 buyers, 5 sellers.
iShares STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF (DE): a European tilt for 12 buyers (2 sellers).
iShares S&P 500 USD Information Technology Sector UCITS: a targeted tech-sector bet for 10 buyers (2 sellers).
Set-and-forget only works if you can see it working — Portfellow tracks every recurring purchase with accurate cost basis across all your brokers.
2. Technology & Innovation Leaders
Individual tech names stayed popular, but October showed the first real split between conviction buys and profit-taking.
Iris Energy Ltd: the most-traded individual stock of the month (39 buyers, 5 sellers) — fourth overall, ahead of every megacap.
Alphabet Inc Class A: a strongly one-sided buy with 29 buyers to 5 sellers; Class C added another 10 buyers (3 sellers).
Micron Technology Inc: still in demand with 27 buyers, but 10 sellers point to profit-taking.
Amazon.com Inc and NVIDIA Corporation: 15 buyers / 4 sellers and 14 buyers / 5 sellers respectively.
Microsoft Corporation: the outlier — more sellers (10) than buyers (7).
Further down the list, AppLovin Corp (11 buyers, 2 sellers), Apple Inc (10 / 3), Nebius Group N.V. (9 / 5) and SpaceX Class A (8 / 6) rounded out the tech crowd. Holding US stocks from a euro account? Portfellow handles the multi-currency conversions so your true performance isn't distorted by FX.
3. Local Focus: The Baltic Powerhouses
Portfellow's Estonian roots show every month — and October brought both steady pension saving and a notable local bond exit.
LHV Group: the most-traded Baltic stock with 15 buyers and 6 sellers.
Ignitis grupė: 13 buyers to just 2 sellers.
LHV Pensionifond Indeks III: 14 buyers, 1 seller — third-pillar saving on repeat.
Swedbanki pensionifond indeks 1990-99 sündinutele: 10 buyers and zero sellers.
EfTEN United Property Fund: 12 buyers, 0 sellers.
IuteCredit Finance 5Y bond: the month's most-sold instrument with 17 sellers and no buyers — a one-way pattern typical of a bond reaching maturity or being redeemed.
The Hybrid Investor's mix of brokers, pension pillars and local bonds is exactly what Portfellow brings together in one unified dashboard.
4. Alternative Assets & Income
Income was a quiet headline of the month, with a US REIT breaking into the overall top five.
Realty Income Corp: 36 buyers to just 2 sellers — fifth most-traded instrument overall.
VICI Properties Inc: 13 buyers, 1 seller.
Bitcoin (various providers): 22 buyers but 10 sellers — the most two-sided trade among the leaders.
Dividends and crypto rarely live in the same app — Portfellow tracks both, so your money-weighted return includes every payout.
Most Sold This Month
Selling was concentrated in one local bond, a handful of big-tech names and Bitcoin.
Software names like ServiceNow and Adobe saw clear net selling, while Micron and Bitcoin look more like profit-taking inside a still-strong buying trend.
