Positions

Your portfolio is structured around three ETFs, each holding a significant portion of the total investment. This composition showcases a balanced approach, with a mix of stocks (67%) and bonds (33%), underlining a conservative risk profile. The allocation across diverse sectors, including Energy, Financial Services, and Industrials, suggests a strategy aimed at mitigating risks through sector diversification. However, the absence of investments in Utilities and Real Estate sectors and limited exposure to international markets could be areas for diversification improvement.

Growth Info

With a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.83% and a maximum drawdown of -11.38%, your portfolio has demonstrated resilience and a solid return profile, particularly for a conservative investment strategy. The days contributing to 90% of returns being concentrated in just 15 days indicate significant returns were achieved in relatively short periods, which is noteworthy for a conservative portfolio. Comparing these results to benchmarks for similar risk profiles could provide additional context on performance.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, which use historical data to forecast future outcomes, suggest a wide range of potential portfolio values with a median (50th percentile) increase of 326.5%. While these projections are encouraging, it's important to remember that they are based on past performance, which is not a reliable indicator of future results. This method helps visualize potential risks and returns but should be one of many tools used in decision-making.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    67%
  • Bonds
    33%

Your portfolio's asset class allocation, with a two-thirds weighting in stocks and one-third in bonds, aligns with a conservative strategy aiming for growth while managing risk. This balance supports income generation through dividends while providing potential for capital appreciation. However, considering the conservative profile, exploring opportunities to increase bond exposure or diversify within asset classes could enhance stability.

Sectors Info

  • Energy
    10%
  • Financials
    10%
  • Industrials
    9%
  • Consumer Discretionary
    9%
  • Consumer Staples
    8%
  • Health Care
    7%
  • Technology
    6%
  • Telecommunications
    4%
  • Basic Materials
    3%

Sector allocation in your portfolio covers a broad spectrum, from Energy to Technology, indicating an attempt to capture growth across the economy while balancing risk. The notable absence of Utilities and Real Estate, typically considered defensive sectors, suggests an opportunity to further diversify and potentially stabilize returns during market volatility. Including these sectors could offer additional income through dividends and reduce overall portfolio risk.

Regions Info

  • North America
    54%
  • Europe Developed
    5%
  • Japan
    2%
  • Asia Emerging
    2%
  • Asia Developed
    2%
  • Australasia
    1%

Geographic allocation heavily favors North America, with minimal exposure to international markets. This concentration enhances the portfolio's potential for stability, given the familiarity and regulatory environment of domestic markets. However, it also limits exposure to global growth opportunities and diversification benefits that international markets can provide. Increasing allocations to developed and emerging markets outside North America could offer a more balanced global exposure.

Market capitalization Info

  • Large-cap
    27%
  • Mid-cap
    21%
  • Small-cap
    9%
  • Mega-cap
    5%
  • Micro-cap
    4%

The portfolio's market capitalization exposure, with a focus on Big and Medium cap stocks, supports the conservative risk profile by investing in established companies. However, the relatively lower allocation to Mega and Small cap stocks suggests potential areas for growth and diversification. Considering a slight increase in Mega cap exposure could enhance stability through blue-chip stocks, while Small caps offer growth potential albeit with increased volatility.

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.

Your portfolio's current risk-return profile suggests there may be room for optimization towards the Efficient Frontier, where the highest possible return is achieved for a given level of risk. By adjusting the asset allocation, possibly by increasing diversification across sectors, geographies, and market caps, you could achieve a more efficient portfolio. This optimization aims to enhance returns without necessarily increasing risk, aligning with your conservative investment strategy.

Dividends Info

  • American Century ETF Trust 2.10%
  • Janus Detroit Street Trust - Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF 5.50%
  • Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 3.80%
  • Weighted yield (per year) 3.80%

Dividend yields across the ETFs in your portfolio contribute significantly to its income generation, with an overall yield of 3.80%. This focus on dividends is well-suited to a conservative investment strategy, offering a steady income stream while potentially reducing volatility. Considering the varying yields, balancing high-yield investments with growth-oriented options could optimize income without compromising growth potential.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • American Century ETF Trust 0.26%
  • Janus Detroit Street Trust - Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF 0.21%
  • Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 0.06%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.18%

The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of 0.18% is impressively low, enhancing the potential for net returns over the long term. This cost efficiency is particularly beneficial in a conservative portfolio, where lower risk and, consequently, lower returns are expected. Maintaining low investment costs will continue to be a key factor in maximizing your portfolio's performance.
