I have over 10 years of experience in the financial sector, having worked both at a stockbroker and as an equity analyst in the Netherlands. During that time, I’ve covered a wide range of predominantly European listed companies. After recently moving to Sweden, I’ve started life as a financial writer, drawing on my previous professional experience to analyze companies from a long-term investor’s perspective. My investment approach is straight-forward. I focus on building a portfolio of European stocks that offer stable and gradually growing dividends, supported by growing underlying free cash flows. The main focus areas are sectors where cash flow visibility is relatively high and competitive dynamics are more rational. Financials, telecommunications, real estate, and utilities have my primary focus. Within these sectors, I look for companies that combine shareholder returns with balance-sheet discipline and have a management with a proven trackrecord of prudent capital allocation. In my writing, I aim to approach each company from the perspective of a long-term, income-focused investor. Rather than reacting to short-term price movements, I try to focus on understanding how a company’s strategy, capital allocation, and competitive position translate into sustainable cash returns over time. My goal is to provide clear, balanced analysis for investors who value predictability and steady dividend compounding over short-term gains.
