I know it could be something to do with my account type (margin account), but to be honest I'm confused.
At first I was alarmed because my portfolio is mostly S&P 500 (QQQ, TESLA, NVIADIA and VTI perform better than the S&P) and I had noticed a lot of variability and comparison with the S&P 500.
I was thinking it might be because of the currency, my account is in CHF, but I was looking deeper and found this post. I'm very confused.( https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/interactive-brokers-lost-3-4-dont-repeat-my-mistake/3583)
Unfortunately, the USD has fallen a lot since Trump started its presidency.
And there is not much we can do about it. You can hedge some of the risks, but that will be expensive in the long term. You can reduce your USD exposure, but you may be missing out on returns. The current consensus in the community is that in the long term, we are going to be fine but we will get lower returns than US investors because of that.
