Positions

Your portfolio is predominantly invested in U.S. equities, with a significant portion allocated to the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and a notable focus on technology through direct stock holdings and sector-specific ETFs. This composition reflects a single-focused diversification strategy, primarily targeting growth through large-cap and technology investments. While this approach capitalizes on the robust performance of the U.S. market and tech sector, it also exposes the portfolio to sector-specific risks and limits geographical diversification.

Growth Info

The portfolio has demonstrated a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.52%, with a maximum drawdown of -23%. This performance, characterized by significant growth with periods of notable volatility, suggests resilience in market downturns and the ability to capture upside in bullish conditions. However, the days contributing most to returns indicate potential concentration risk, where a few good days disproportionately affect overall performance.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations project a wide range of potential future outcomes, with a median increase of 329.9% in portfolio value. While these simulations, based on historical data, offer a glimpse into potential future performance, they inherently cannot predict market movements with certainty. The range of outcomes underscores the importance of maintaining a well-diversified portfolio to mitigate risk while aiming for growth.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    95%
  • Other
    5%

The portfolio's asset class allocation is heavily skewed towards stocks (95%), with a minor allocation in other assets (5%). This high concentration in equities is typical for growth-oriented portfolios but comes with higher volatility. Diversifying across more asset classes, including fixed income or real estate, could provide a buffer against stock market fluctuations and potentially smooth out returns over time.

Sectors Info

  • Technology
    31%
  • Financials
    14%
  • Consumer Discretionary
    11%
  • Industrials
    9%
  • Health Care
    7%
  • Telecommunications

  • Energy
    7%
  • Consumer Staples
    5%
  • Basic Materials
    2%
  • Utilities
    1%
  • Real Estate
    1%

Sector allocation is predominantly in technology (31%), followed by financial services and consumer cyclicals. This sector concentration aligns with the portfolio's growth focus but also heightens sensitivity to tech market swings. Broadening sector exposure could reduce volatility and improve resilience against sector-specific downturns.

Regions Info

  • North America
    92%
  • Asia Emerging
    1%
  • Asia Developed
    1%

Geographically, the portfolio is heavily weighted towards North America (92%), with minimal exposure to emerging and developed markets outside of the U.S. This concentration benefits from U.S. market strength but misses out on potential gains from global diversification. Increasing exposure to international markets could offer new growth opportunities and risk mitigation.

Market capitalization Info

  • Large-cap
    32%
  • Mega-cap
    26%
  • Mid-cap
    14%
  • Small-cap
    12%
  • Micro-cap
    10%

The market capitalization breakdown shows a balanced mix across big, mega, medium, small, and micro caps, which is beneficial for diversification. However, the heavy emphasis on larger companies is consistent with the portfolio's overall risk and return profile. Incorporating more small and micro-cap investments could enhance growth potential but also increase volatility.

Redundant positions Info

  • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF
    Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares
    High correlation

The high correlation between the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF Shares indicates overlapping exposure, which may limit diversification benefits. Identifying and reducing such overlaps can enhance portfolio efficiency by ensuring each investment contributes to diversification.

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.

Achieving an optimal risk-return balance requires careful consideration of asset correlation and portfolio composition.

This low-cost approach is commendable, as it preserves more of your returns. Continuously monitoring and controlling costs remains crucial for enhancing long-term investment outcomes.
