Positions

Your portfolio is structured around a core of large-cap U.S. equities, represented by the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, complemented by international diversification through the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares. The inclusion of the Avantis® U.S. Small Cap Value ETF introduces a value-oriented approach to small-cap stocks, while the iShares® 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF offers a conservative balance, enhancing liquidity and reducing overall volatility. This composition aligns well with a balanced risk profile, leveraging the growth potential of stocks with the stability of short-term bonds.

Growth Info

Historically, your portfolio has shown a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.08%, with a maximum drawdown of -23.68%. These figures suggest a robust performance, balancing periods of significant growth with the expected downturns inherent in a diversified stock portfolio. The days contributing most to returns highlight the impact of market timing and the importance of staying invested through market cycles for long-term growth.

Projection Info

Using Monte Carlo simulations, which project future performance based on historical data, your portfolio shows a wide range of potential outcomes. While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, these simulations suggest a strong likelihood of positive returns, with a median projected increase of 446.2%. This indicates a solid foundation for growth, though it's crucial to remember that these projections are hypothetical and subject to change based on market conditions.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    94%
  • Cash
    6%

Your portfolio's asset allocation leans heavily towards stocks (94%), with a minor allocation in cash equivalents (6%) through the short-term bond ETF. This distribution supports a growth-oriented strategy while offering some liquidity. Diversification across asset classes could be further optimized by considering the inclusion of other asset types, such as fixed income or real estate, to enhance risk-adjusted returns.

The sectoral distribution within your portfolio is well-diversified, with significant allocations in technology, financial services, and industrials. This diversification helps mitigate sector-specific risks, though the heavy weighting in technology and financial services mirrors broader market trends and may increase volatility. Balancing sector exposure can further reduce risk and capitalize on growth opportunities across the economy.

Geographically, your portfolio shows a strong bias towards North America (62%), with meaningful exposure to developed European markets and emerging markets in Asia. This global diversification enhances growth potential and reduces the risk of regional downturns significantly impacting the portfolio. However, further diversification into underrepresented regions could offer additional benefits.

Market capitalization Info

  • Large-cap
    28%
  • Mid-cap
    15%
  • Small-cap
    6%
  • Micro-cap
    5%

The market capitalization breakdown reveals a focus on mega and big-cap stocks, which tend to be more stable and less volatile than smaller companies. While this supports the portfolio's balanced risk profile, incorporating a greater variety of medium, small, and micro-cap stocks could improve potential returns by capturing the growth dynamics of smaller companies.

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 alignment with the Efficient Frontier suggests it is optimized for the best possible risk-return ratio given its current composition. While this indicates a strong foundation, it's important to review this alignment periodically. Market conditions and your financial goals evolve, which may necessitate adjustments to maintain optimal efficiency.
