Kit composition

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ) META Loading USD Throughout the entire year of 2022, the IT sector was under pressure after tech giants enjoyed rapid growth during the pandemic in 2020-2021. Large companies had better opportunities than their smaller peers, but there were some exclusions. Stocks of Meta Platforms, owner of Facebook and Instagram, lost 65%, which is an absolute record for the FAAMG group of companies (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google).

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ) PYPL Loading USD PayPal stocks lost 64% in 2022 amid general market correction. However, the service has strong fundamentals as it is the most popular tool for online transactions in the United States.

SPDR Fund: Consumer Discretionary Select Sector ETF (NYSE) XLY Loading USD The consumer discretionary sector suffered greatly in 2022 as the demand for cars, apparel, luxuries, hotels, and restaurants dropped dramatically. During hard times people try to diminish all unnecessarily spending and focus primarily on food and other everyday goods. Fears about high inflation and a nearing recession crushed ETF prices by 40% by the end of 2022.

Vanguard: Real Estate ETF (NYSE) VNQ Loading USD Low interest rates prompted real estate in the United States to rise significantly with corresponding ETF shares following. Americans were borrowing cheap money to buy houses and this boosted real estate prices across the country. The real estate bubble, together with rising borrowing costs, undermined the demand for houses. So, VNQ shares lost 30% in 2022.

Bitcoin to US Dollar BTCUSD Loading USD The curtailing of stimulus programs by the Federal Reserve (Fed) hit cryptocurrencies badly as they were mostly developed during a time of soft monetary policy and has therefore seen to greatly suffer during any change of the policy stance towards monetary tightening. Most of the altcoins lost over 90% during 2022, while Bitcoin prices were down only by 65%.

说明

The year of 2022 was extremely turbulent for investors that were trying to save their money by investing in safe haven assets as other sectors rapidly lost their market capitalisation. The energy sector was the one that ended 2022 in positive territory, while others failed. The IT sector was one of the biggest losers with a drop of 29% in market cap, which resulted in consumer discretionary falling by 37%.
