Positions

This portfolio primarily invests in a mix of U.S. large-cap stocks, international equities, and U.S. small-cap stocks, with allocations of 60%, 30%, and 10% respectively. Its composition reflects a strategic balance between domestic and international markets, favoring well-established companies while also incorporating growth potential from smaller firms. This diversified approach aims to capture market growth across different economies and sectors, mitigating risks associated with market volatility.

Growth Info

With a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.54%, the portfolio has shown robust growth over time. The maximum drawdown of -34.58% indicates a period of significant value decrease, which is an important risk measure. The days contributing most to returns highlight the impact of market timing on performance. Compared to the benchmark, this performance suggests a healthy balance of risk and return, aligning with the portfolio's balanced risk classification.

Projection Info

Using Monte Carlo simulations, the portfolio's forward projection offers a range of potential outcomes based on historical data. While past performance is not indicative of future results, these simulations help visualize risk and return possibilities. The median projection of a 243% increase suggests optimism, but the wide range between the 5th and 67th percentiles underscores market uncertainty.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    99%
  • Cash
    1%

The portfolio's asset allocation is heavily weighted towards stocks (99%), with a minimal cash holding (1%). This stock-dominant strategy aligns with the portfolio's goal of capital growth over time. However, the lack of bonds or other asset classes may limit opportunities for risk reduction during market downturns.

Sector allocation is well-diversified, with technology and financial services leading. This sector spread is in line with broad market trends, though the heavy tech weighting may expose the portfolio to higher volatility given the sector's rapid growth and occasional sharp corrections. Balancing sector exposure can mitigate risk while capturing growth across different market cycles.

Geographic allocation emphasizes North American and developed European markets, with smaller exposures to emerging markets in Asia and other regions. This distribution leverages stability and growth in established markets while tapping into the growth potential of emerging economies. However, the modest allocation to emerging markets might limit exposure to high-growth opportunities.

Medium, small, and micro-cap stocks, although riskier, provide growth potential. This blend supports a balanced risk-return profile, crucial for long-term wealth accumulation.

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's current allocation appears to balance risk and return effectively. However, ongoing review and adjustment can ensure it remains optimized against changing market conditions and personal financial goals. Diversification beyond stocks and slight adjustments in sector and geographic exposure could further enhance risk-adjusted returns.

Dividends Info

  • Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund ETF Shares 1.40%
  • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 1.30%
  • Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares 2.90%
  • Weighted yield (per year) 1.79%

The portfolio's dividend yield of 1.79% contributes to its total return, offering a steady income stream alongside capital appreciation. This yield, while modest, is complemented by the growth potential of the underlying investments. For income-focused investors, revisiting the dividend strategy could enhance yield without significantly increasing risk.

  • Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund ETF Shares 0.05%
  • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 0.03%
  • Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares 0.05%
