Positions

This portfolio showcases a strategic emphasis on diversification across both domestic and international equities, with a blend of large-cap, small-cap, and emerging market ETFs. The largest allocation is in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares, representing a broad exposure to the U.S. stock market. The significant investments in Avantis® ETFs, particularly in U.S. and international small-cap value stocks, suggest a tilt towards value investing. This composition aligns with a balanced risk profile, aiming to capture growth while mitigating volatility through global diversification.

Growth Info

Historically, the portfolio has demonstrated a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.06%, with a maximum drawdown of -24.51%. This performance, characterized by a relatively high CAGR in the context of its drawdown, indicates a strong risk-adjusted return. The days contributing to 90% of returns being limited to just 10 suggests that the portfolio's growth is concentrated in a few significant market movements, highlighting the importance of staying invested over the long term.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, using 1,000 iterations, project a wide range of outcomes with a median increase of 235.6%. While the 5th percentile shows minimal growth, the 67th percentile suggests potential substantial gains. This variance underscores the inherent uncertainties in market performance but also highlights the portfolio's capacity for significant growth. Remember, these projections rely on historical data, which does not guarantee future results.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    99%
  • Cash
    1%

The portfolio is nearly entirely invested in stocks (99%), with a minimal cash holding (1%). This asset class distribution supports a growth-oriented strategy but comes with higher volatility. The absence of bonds or other fixed-income securities means the portfolio may lack a buffer against stock market downturns. Investors should consider whether incorporating fixed-income assets could provide a more balanced risk-return profile, especially during market volatility.

  • Avantis® Emerging Markets Value ETF 0.36%
  • Avantis® U.S. Small Cap Value ETF 0.25%
  • Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares 0.03%
  • Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares 0.05%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.14%

The Vanguard ETFs, known for their low costs, anchor the portfolio's cost efficiency.
