When evaluating a potential investment, I always look at the company's brand strength, financial health and growth potential. It is also important that the company fits into our lifestyle-focused portfolio.
Do you have any tips for building a long-term portfolio?
Diversification is key. Having a mix of different assets and sectors can help minimize risk. It is also important to stay up to date with market trends and adjust your portfolio when necessary.

I think lifestyle companies will be very interesting when we have brought inflation down and people start living again and maybe treat themselves more. It is important to be prepared to adapt the portfolio in line with these changes.
