Positions

This portfolio is entirely invested in 3M Company, a common stock representing the industrials sector. Such a concentration in a single stock and sector, while potentially offering high returns, exposes the portfolio to significant risk. This approach contrasts sharply with diversified investment strategies that spread risk across multiple assets, sectors, and geographies.

Growth Info

Historically, the portfolio has experienced a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.44%, with a maximum drawdown of -59.12%. These figures highlight the volatile nature of single-stock investments, where periods of high returns can be suddenly reversed by steep declines. The fact that 90% of returns came from just 9 days emphasizes the unpredictability and the potential for rapid value changes.

Projection Info

A Monte Carlo simulation of 1,000 scenarios predicts a wide range of outcomes, from a 47.7% loss to a 264% gain, with an average annualized return of 9.94%. While these projections provide a broad sense of potential future performance, they also underscore the inherent uncertainty and risk of concentrating all investments in a single stock.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    100%

The portfolio's asset class composition is entirely stocks, specifically within the industrials sector. This lack of diversification across asset classes, such as bonds or real estate, means the portfolio does not benefit from the potential stabilizing effects of non-correlated assets, which can reduce volatility and mitigate risk.

Sectors Info

  • Industrials
    100%

Focusing solely on the industrials sector, the portfolio misses out on opportunities for growth and risk management available in other sectors. While industrials can offer solid returns, they are also subject to sector-specific risks, such as economic downturns affecting manufacturing and production.

Regions Info

  • North America
    100%

The geographic allocation is entirely within North America, specifically the United States. This geographic concentration further limits diversification, making the portfolio vulnerable to regional economic and political events that could negatively impact the stock's performance.

Market capitalization Info

  • Large-cap
    100%

The portfolio's investment in a large-cap company like 3M provides some level of stability compared to smaller companies, due to 3M's established market presence and historical resilience. However, even large-cap stocks can be volatile, as evidenced by the portfolio's maximum drawdown.

Dividends Info

  • 3M Company 1.90%
  • Weighted yield (per year) 1.90%

The dividend yield of 1.90% from 3M Company contributes to the portfolio's total returns. While dividends provide a source of income, relying solely on one company's dividends can be risky if the company decides to cut or suspend its dividend payments.
