Positions

The portfolio is structured to balance growth and stability, with a 70% allocation in stocks, 20% in bonds, and a 10% allocation to gold. This composition reflects a cautious approach to risk, aiming to provide steady growth while mitigating potential market downturns. The significant allocation to global equities, particularly through the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF, underscores a commitment to diversification across both developed and emerging markets.

Growth Info

Historically, the portfolio has achieved a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.69%, with a maximum drawdown of -17.90%. These figures suggest resilience in face of market volatility, largely due to its diversified nature and balanced asset allocation. The days contributing to 90% of the returns highlight the impact of short-term market movements on overall performance, emphasizing the importance of a long-term investment horizon.

Projection Info

The Monte Carlo simulation, using 1,000 iterations, projects a wide range of outcomes, with the median scenario suggesting a 160.5% return over the simulation period. This analysis underscores the inherent uncertainty in investing, while the high count of simulations with positive returns (952 out of 1,000) reinforces the portfolio's robustness against different market conditions.
