Summary
Danish investor Jeppe Kirk Bonde is the most copied investor on eToro, a leading investment platform with 27 million users, which enables investors to copy traders automatically. Currently, 25,000 people copythis portfolio, for an amount of more than $73 million.
Notably, he has recorded an annual average return of more than 30 percent since 2013, an extraordinary performance, also comparedwith the likes of Benjamin Graham (21% average annual return between 1936 and 1955), Peter Lynch (an average annual 29% between 1977 and 1990) and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (about 15 % per annum on average since 1990), as also recorded by a Brussels Report article on stock investing.
In this this episode of the Brussels Report podcast, BrusselsReport.eu editor Pieter Cleppe discusses the following topics with him:
- Is buying stocks a good way for people to defend their savings against inflation and ECB monetary debasement? What’s the ideal strategy to follow and how much of their savings should people invest into stocks?
- What about gold as a means to protect one’s savings? And gold mines?
- Is this the right time to invest in commodities, like oil, coal and gas, and is it wise to base investment decisions on news events?
- How should investors deal with the development of ever more difficult trade with Russia and China?
- Are we nearing the end of the great growth cycle in tech or is there much progress ahead, for example with AI?

| 0:00.0 | the Brussels Report podcast welcome to a new episode my name is Peter Klepper I'm the editor-in-chief of Brusselsreport.EU. |
| 0:23.8 | And it's very good to have as my guest, Yeppe Kirk Bande, who's a friend of mine. |
| 0:30.5 | We know each other quite a long time. And today we're going to discuss investment, which is maybe not the number one focus of Brussels report, but it's definitely, I think, an important segment. |
| 0:44.3 | When we discuss Eurozone policies, EU policies, I think it's also interesting to try to discuss strategies that people can follow in their |
| 0:57.1 | day-to-day life. |
| 0:59.5 | And last year I wrote an article on how to protect yourself from ECB monetary debasement, |
| 1:10.2 | specifically highlighting stocks. And there, I thoroughly went into the world |
| 1:17.1 | of how much is an average return from the stock market. Some sources said it was 10% or |
| 1:24.7 | other sources said it is it is 7%. |
| 1:30.5 | But then my guest today, yep, he actually has managed over the last, I think almost nine |
| 1:37.6 | years to secure a 30% average return. |
| 1:42.7 | So 30 that is 3.0, which I find enormously, enormously impressive. |
| 1:51.2 | So very welcome, Jephe. |
| 1:53.1 | Thank you very much, Peter. |
| 1:54.6 | And maybe I should add that Yappa has, according to the last information, I mean, he has 25,000 copiers on Itoro, which is a platform where people can simply invest money and then decide to copy a certain investor. |
| 2:14.2 | I personally find this very valuable strategy because most people are able to |
| 2:19.3 | buy a house and to figure out if a house is a good investment or a good buy. But I mean, |
| 2:26.6 | at least I'm not capable, I think, to do better than the market when picking stocks. |
| 2:38.2 | And there's no shame in saying that this is incredibly complicated. And Jepa has managed to have this enormous return over quite a long period. |
| 2:46.0 | I mean, almost nine years. |
| 2:48.9 | And up to 73 million euro of investment is actually copying him. |
| 2:55.6 | So that's truly quite something. |
