Positions

This portfolio predominantly comprises ETFs that cover the total stock market, international stocks, and the bond market, with allocations of 70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. This structure underlines a strategic emphasis on equities for growth while maintaining a bond component for risk mitigation. The high diversification score reflects a broad exposure across sectors and geographies, aligning with best practices for reducing unsystematic risk. The balance between domestic and international equities enhances global diversification, which is crucial for tapping into various economic growth rates and mitigating region-specific risks.

Growth Info

The portfolio has demonstrated a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.63%, with a maximum drawdown of -32.47%. These figures suggest a resilient performance across market cycles, highlighting the portfolio's ability to recover from downturns. The days contributing to 90% of returns emphasize the impact of significant market movements on overall performance. Comparing this CAGR with benchmarks for similar risk profiles can provide insight into the portfolio's relative performance, suggesting it has navigated market volatility effectively while capitalizing on growth opportunities.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, which project future performance based on historical data, show a wide range of outcomes with a median increase of 199.2%. While this method offers a broad view of potential scenarios, it's crucial to remember that it relies on past trends, which may not predict future movements accurately. Nonetheless, the high number of simulations with positive returns underscores the portfolio's robustness, indicating a high likelihood of future growth despite market uncertainties.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    89%
  • Bonds
    10%
  • Cash
    1%

The allocation across asset classes with 89% in stocks and 10% in bonds reflects a growth-oriented strategy with a moderate risk cushion. This mix supports long-term capital appreciation while providing some income and volatility dampening through bonds. The small cash holding enhances liquidity, allowing for flexibility in rebalancing or capitalizing on investment opportunities. Comparing these allocations to those of a typical balanced portfolio might suggest a slightly higher appetite for risk, given the substantial equity exposure.

Sectors Info

    25%
  • Financials
    14%
  • Industrials

  • Consumer Discretionary

  • Energy
    3%
  • Basic Materials
    3%
  • Real Estate
    2%
  • Utilities
    2%

Sector allocation reveals a heavy weighting towards technology and financial services, which may drive growth but also introduce sector-specific risks, such as regulatory changes or economic cycles affecting these industries. The spread across industrials, consumer cyclicals, and healthcare offers a counterbalance, contributing to stability and potential resilience against sector-specific downturns. This sectoral distribution aligns with a growth-focused strategy but warrants periodic review to manage concentration risk.

Regions Info

  • North America
    71%
  • Europe Developed
    8%
  • Asia Emerging
    3%
  • Japan
    3%
  • Asia Developed
    2%
  • Australasia
    1%
  • Africa/Middle East
    1%

Geographic allocation is predominantly in North America (71%), with meaningful exposure to developed Europe and emerging Asian markets. This distribution suggests a well-considered strategy for capturing growth in major economies while exploring opportunities in faster-growing regions. However, the relatively low exposure to emerging markets and specific regions like Latin America and Africa/Middle East may limit potential gains from high-growth areas, suggesting an area for potential enhancement.

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    37%
  • Large-cap
    28%
  • Mid-cap
    17%
  • Small-cap
    5%
  • Micro-cap
    2%

The market capitalization breakdown, with a focus on mega and big cap stocks, indicates a preference for established, large companies likely to offer stability and consistent returns. While this may reduce volatility, it could also limit exposure to high-growth potential in smaller companies. Diversifying further into medium, small, and micro-cap stocks could introduce more growth opportunities, albeit with higher risk.
