Positions

The portfolio is structured around a core holding in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, making up 40% of the investment, which provides broad exposure to large-cap U.S. equities. The inclusion of the ARK Innovation ETF and the SPDR® S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF, each constituting 20% of the portfolio, introduces a focus on innovation-driven and small-cap growth stocks, respectively. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF and the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF, both at 10%, offer targeted exposure to emerging markets and the lithium & battery technology sector. This composition suggests a growth-focused strategy with moderate diversification across sectors and geographies but a concentrated bet on specific themes and regions.

Growth Info

Historically, the portfolio has achieved a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.61%, with a maximum drawdown of -44.05%, indicating periods of significant volatility. The days contributing to 90% of returns number 27, underscoring the impact of short-term, high-gain periods on overall performance. This level of return, paired with the drawdown, reflects the growth-oriented risk profile and suggests resilience through market fluctuations, albeit with notable short-term risk.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, using historical data to forecast future outcomes, show a wide range of potential portfolio performances. With key percentiles at 4.3% for the 5th and 458.4% for the 50th, the projections indicate a significant upside potential. However, the broad spread underscores the inherent uncertainty and risk, particularly given the portfolio's growth focus and exposure to volatile sectors.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    100%

The portfolio is entirely composed of stocks, with no allocation to cash, bonds, or other asset classes. This singular focus on equities enhances the portfolio's growth potential but also increases its susceptibility to market volatility. Diversification across different asset classes could provide a buffer against stock market downturns, suggesting a potential area for risk management improvement.

Sectors Info

  • Technology
    25%
  • Financials
    14%
  • Industrials
    12%
  • Consumer Discretionary
    12%
  • Health Care
    11%
  • Telecommunications
    9%
  • Basic Materials
    6%
  • Consumer Staples
    3%
  • Real Estate
    3%
  • Energy
    2%
  • Utilities
    1%

With technology (25%) and financial services (14%) as the leading sectors, followed closely by industrials and consumer cyclicals, the portfolio is positioned to benefit from growth in these dynamic areas. However, this sectoral concentration also exposes the portfolio to specific risks, such as regulatory changes or economic cycles affecting these industries. Balancing sector exposure could mitigate some of these risks while preserving growth potential.

Regions Info

  • North America
    81%
  • Asia Emerging
    9%
  • Asia Developed
    5%
  • Latin America
    1%
  • Europe Developed
    1%
  • Australasia
    1%
  • Africa/Middle East
    1%
  • Japan
    1%

The portfolio's geographic allocation is heavily skewed towards North America (81%), with modest exposure to Asia Emerging (9%) and other regions. This concentration on the U.S. market leverages its historical strength but limits global diversification benefits. Increasing exposure to other developed and emerging markets could enhance the portfolio's resilience to region-specific economic downturns.

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    31%
  • Large-cap
    27%
  • Small-cap
    18%
  • Mid-cap
    15%
  • Micro-cap
    9%

The market capitalization exposure, with a mix of mega (31%), big (27%), small (18%), medium (15%), and micro (9%) cap stocks, indicates a balanced approach to capturing growth across different company sizes. This diversification can help mitigate the risk inherent in focusing solely on large-cap or small-cap stocks, potentially smoothing out performance over time.

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.

Considering the Efficient Frontier, the portfolio appears to be positioned for high growth but with substantial risk, as indicated by its historical performance and Monte Carlo projections. Optimization might involve rebalancing towards assets with lower volatility or introducing new asset classes to achieve a more favorable risk-return ratio. However, any adjustments should align with the investor's risk tolerance and growth objectives.

Dividends Info

  • iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF 2.40%
  • Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF 0.60%
  • SPDR® S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF 1.20%
  • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 1.20%
  • Weighted yield (per year) 1.02%

The dividend yields, ranging from 0.60% to 2.40% across different ETFs, contribute to the portfolio's total yield of 1.02%. While dividends are not the primary focus of this growth-oriented strategy, they provide a secondary income stream and a potential cushion during market downturns. Reviewing dividend contributions in the context of total return expectations is essential for a balanced growth strategy.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • ARK Innovation ETF 0.75%
  • iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF 0.70%
  • Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF 0.75%
  • SPDR® S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF 0.15%
  • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 0.03%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.34%

The portfolio's total expense ratio (TER) of 0.34% is influenced by the varying costs of the included ETFs, from as low as 0.03% for the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF to as high as 0.75% for the ARK Innovation and Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETFs. While these costs are reasonable for specialized ETFs, investors should be mindful of how they impact net returns, especially in a growth-oriented portfolio where every percentage point counts.
