This portfolio is a simple three-fund, all‑equity mix. Around 70% sits in a broad global equity ETF, 20% in a global small-cap value ETF, and 10% in an emerging markets ETF. So it combines a core global stock market holding with two more adventurous “satellite” positions. Everything is in stocks, with no bonds or cash included in the analysis. This structure is easy to understand and monitor, which is helpful for staying consistent over time. The tilt toward small caps and emerging markets adds potential for higher long‑term growth but usually comes with bumpier short‑term moves. Because the funds are all from one provider, processes and style are likely to be consistent across the portfolio.
Growth
Over roughly 1.6 years, €1,000 grew to about €1,275, implying a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.94%. CAGR is like the average yearly “speed” of growth over the whole period. Over this short window, the portfolio outpaced both the US market and the global market by a few percentage points per year. The largest peak‑to‑trough drop, or max drawdown, was about -21.5%, similar to global stocks. With only 1.6 years of data, these results mainly describe how the portfolio handled one particular market phase rather than revealing stable long‑term patterns, so they should be viewed as an early snapshot, not a long history.
Projection
The Monte Carlo projection uses the limited historical data to simulate many possible 15‑year paths for a €1,000 investment. Monte Carlo is basically a “what if” engine: it shuffles returns thousands of times to see a range of future outcomes, from weak to strong. The median result is about €2,760, with most scenarios falling between roughly €1,855 and €4,118, and an 85% chance of ending positive. The average simulated annual return is 8.21%. Because the input history is only 1.6 years, the simulation may be capturing recent market conditions more than long‑term norms, so these numbers are best seen as broad ballpark ranges, not precise forecasts.
Asset classes
- Stocks 100%
All of the portfolio is in stocks, so the asset class view is very straightforward: 100% equities and 0% bonds or cash. This means there is full exposure to stock market ups and downs, with no built‑in stabilizer from safer assets. Compared with typical “balanced” mixes that often include meaningful bond allocations, this portfolio is more growth‑oriented in structure, even if the risk score labels it as balanced. An all‑equity allocation can deliver stronger long‑term growth, but the path is usually more volatile. In practice, the ride will depend entirely on how global stock markets behave, since there are no other asset classes here to cushion large equity swings.
Sectors
- Technology 21%
- Financials 21%
- Industrials 14%
- Consumer Discretionary 12%
- Energy 8%
- Health Care 6%
- Telecommunications 6%
- Basic Materials 6%
- Consumer Staples 5%
- Utilities 1%
- Real Estate 1%
Sector exposure is fairly diversified across the economy. Technology and Financials are the largest at 21% each, followed by Industrials and Consumer Discretionary with mid‑teens and low‑teens weights. The rest is spread among Energy, Health Care, Telecoms, Materials, Staples, Utilities, and Real Estate, each in single digits. This balance is broadly in line with many global equity benchmarks, which is a good sign for diversification: no single economic area dominates the picture. Tech and growth‑oriented industries can be more sensitive to interest rate changes, while Financials can react more strongly to economic and credit cycles, so this sector mix can lead to noticeable swings when macro conditions shift.
Regions
- North America 66%
- Europe Developed 14%
- Japan 7%
- Asia Developed 5%
- Asia Emerging 4%
- Australasia 2%
- Africa/Middle East 1%
- Latin America 1%
Geographically, about two‑thirds of the portfolio is in North America, with the rest spread across Europe, Japan, other developed Asia, and small slices of emerging regions. This US‑heavy tilt is quite similar to the global stock market today, where US companies make up the largest share of total market value. That alignment with global benchmarks is helpful: it means the portfolio is capturing a broad slice of worldwide corporate earnings while still reflecting where most market capitalization sits. At the same time, it does mean outcomes are strongly tied to North American economic and policy trends. Non‑US areas still matter here, but they have a smaller influence on overall performance.
Market capitalization
- Mega-cap 26%
- Mid-cap 24%
- Large-cap 22%
- Small-cap 18%
- Micro-cap 10%
Market‑cap exposure is nicely spread out: 26% mega‑cap, 22% large‑cap, 24% mid‑cap, 18% small‑cap, and 10% micro‑cap. That’s more tilted toward smaller companies than a typical global index, which is usually dominated by mega‑ and large‑caps. Smaller firms often have more room to grow but can be more volatile and sensitive to economic slowdowns. This mix creates a blend of stability from big, established names and extra growth potential from the smaller end of the spectrum. The explicit allocation to a small‑cap value ETF explains much of this tilt and suggests that size and style are intentional ingredients rather than just side effects of the main global fund.

- Top 10 total 12.83%
The look‑through view shows that a handful of large technology and internet‑related companies, like NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta, appear in the underlying ETF holdings. Individually, the biggest of these is under 2.5% of the total portfolio, and the combined top‑10 stocks shown cover only about 17% of ETF assets, so no single company dominates. At the same time, the presence of the same big names across multiple funds does create some overlap, which is normal for global equity products. Because only ETF top‑10 holdings are captured, overall overlap is likely higher than shown, but there is no sign of extreme single‑stock concentration here.

Risk contribution looks at how much each holding drives the portfolio’s overall ups and downs, which can differ from simple weights. Here, the main global equity ETF is 70% of the portfolio and contributes about 69% of the risk, almost one‑for‑one. The small‑cap value ETF is 20% by weight but adds around 21% of the risk, slightly more than its size, reflecting typically higher volatility in small‑cap value stocks. The emerging markets ETF is 10% and contributes roughly 10% of risk. Overall, risk is spread almost exactly in line with weights, and all three funds together account for essentially all portfolio volatility, with no hidden risk driver lurking in a small position.
Risk vs. return
This chart shows the Efficient Frontier, calculated using your current assets with different allocation combinations. It highlights the best balance between risk and return based on historical data. "Efficient" portfolios maximize returns for a given risk or minimize risk for a given return. Portfolios below the curve are less efficient. This is informational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any assets.

The risk vs. return chart shows the current mix very close to the efficient frontier. The efficient frontier is the curve of best possible return for each risk level using just these three holdings in different weights. The current portfolio Sharpe ratio is 0.9, while the maximum‑Sharpe combination is 1.2 and the minimum‑variance option is 0.98, all fairly close together. The Sharpe ratio compares return to volatility after adjusting for a risk‑free rate; higher means better risk‑adjusted performance. With the portfolio sitting on or near the frontier, the allocation looks efficient given these building blocks, especially impressive considering the short performance history feeding the model.
Ongoing product costs
- Avantis Global Equity UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR 0.22%
- Avantis Global Small Cap Value UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR 0.39%
- Avantis Emerging Markets Equity UCITS ETF 0.35%
- Weighted costs total (per year) 0.27%
The weighted ongoing cost, or Total Expense Ratio (TER), is about 0.27% per year across the three ETFs. TER is the annual fee charged by the funds, taken directly from assets, so it quietly reduces returns a bit each year. For an actively tilted global equity strategy using specialist ETFs, this cost level is impressively low and broadly competitive. Lower fees mean more of the portfolio’s gross return stays in the investor’s hands, and the benefit compounds over time. Over short periods like 1.6 years, cost differences are small in euros, but across decades they can add up significantly, so starting from a low‑cost base is a meaningful positive.
