Birgit Schrowange Admits Dotcom 'Gamble' and Sets Out Conservative Investment Plan

Her interview signals a move to long-term, dividend-focused ETFs and formal estate steps meant to protect a blended family.

Overview

  • In interviews published May 26–27, Schrowange said she "gambled" on internet stocks during the Dotcom bubble and called the losses a lasting lesson that changed her approach to money.
  • She now keeps most of her assets in long-term, broadly diversified investments and says her core holdings are ETFs and actively managed funds aimed at preservation and steady income.
  • Schrowange maintains a deliberately small budget for speculative bets separate from her main portfolio so she can take limited risks without jeopardizing savings.
  • To reduce uncertainty for her blended family she has already written a will and signed a marriage contract, steps she describes as providing clarity and peace.
  • Her story echoes a wider Dotcom-era lesson for retail investors and underlines how diversification, income focus and clear estate planning can ease financial and family stress while supporting her ongoing charity work.
