The portfolio is heavily weighted towards stocks, accounting for nearly 100% of the asset allocation. This stock-centric approach aligns with the goal of achieving growth, albeit with higher volatility compared to a more balanced allocation that includes bonds or other asset classes. While this allocation can drive significant returns, it also exposes the portfolio to market fluctuations. Investors seeking to lower risk might consider diversifying into other asset classes, such as bonds, to create a more balanced and resilient portfolio that can better withstand market downturns.

Sector allocation within the portfolio is diversified, with a notable emphasis on technology (27.26%), financial services (18.37%), and healthcare (13.09%). This indicates a focus on sectors with strong growth potential and essential services. The portfolio's sector diversification helps mitigate risks associated with sector-specific downturns. However, the high concentration in technology could increase volatility. Investors may want to assess their comfort with this exposure and consider adjusting allocations if they prefer a more balanced sector approach, potentially reducing concentration in any single sector.

Geographically, the portfolio is well-diversified, with a significant allocation to North America (59.58%), followed by Europe Developed (20.01%), and smaller allocations to Asia and other regions. This global diversification reduces the impact of region-specific risks and capitalizes on growth opportunities worldwide. However, the strong focus on North America may limit exposure to emerging markets' potential growth. Investors might consider adjusting geographic allocations to better align with their risk tolerance and growth expectations, potentially increasing exposure to regions with higher growth prospects.

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 portfolio is close to the efficient frontier, indicating it's well-optimized for its current risk level. However, there's room for improvement by adjusting the risk level to better match personal preferences. Moving along the efficient frontier allows investors to achieve a riskier or more conservative portfolio. For a riskier approach, increasing exposure to growth-oriented assets might be considered. Conversely, for a more conservative stance, incorporating more fixed-income assets could reduce volatility. Before optimizing, investors should ensure their risk tolerance and financial goals are clearly defined to guide any adjustments.
