Positions

This portfolio is basically a world index with accessories. Half the money is in a plain ACWI tracker, then another 15% in an S&P 500 fund that overlaps it heavily, plus two “value” factor funds trying to look original. It’s like buying the same outfit in three colours and calling it a wardrobe. For something tagged “balanced,” it’s actually 100% equities with a moderate risk label slapped on, which is optimistic at best. Structurally, this is a simple, mostly coherent equity mix, but the extra S&P 500 slice looks more like a comfort blanket than a deliberate building block.

Growth Info

Historically, this thing has absolutely flown: €1,000 turned into €1,745 in under three years, with a 24.73% CAGR. That’s turbo-charged versus both the US and global benchmarks, which lag by about 4 percentage points per year. But the ride wasn’t free: a -20.53% max drawdown means real gut-check moments. And only 26 days produced 90% of the gains, so returns were basically a handful of lucky parties in an otherwise normal year. As usual, past performance is yesterday’s weather — looks sunny, but pretending this pace continues forever is how expectations get broken.

Projection Info

The Monte Carlo simulation is the financial equivalent of running this portfolio through 1,000 alternate universes. Median outcome after 15 years is €2,778 from €1,000, which is nice but also a huge downgrade from the recent rocket-ship history. The “likely” range runs from “fine” (€1,784) to “pretty great” (€4,230), with a non-trivial shot of ending around where you started or worse (€881 at the low end). An 8.02% average annualized return is grounded, not heroic. It’s a reminder that markets don’t care what the backtest did — they just roll new dice every day.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    100%

Asset-class breakdown is easy: it’s stocks, stocks, and more stocks. For something labelled “balanced,” there is a grand total of 0% in bonds, cash, or anything that might gently cushion a fall. That’s like calling a double espresso “hydration.” Equity-only means full participation in both euphoria and panic, with nothing structurally built in to slow the swings. It’s clean, simple, and very honest about wanting growth, but the marketing language (“balanced”) and the actual asset mix are not exactly on speaking terms.

Sectors Info

  • Technology
    32%
  • Financials
    15%
  • Industrials
    10%
  • Consumer Discretionary
    9%
  • Telecommunications

  • Health Care

  • Energy
    5%
  • Consumer Staples
    4%
  • Basic Materials
    4%
  • Utilities
    2%
  • Real Estate
    2%

Sector-wise, the portfolio is cosplaying as a value strategy while secretly mainlining tech. Technology at 32% is a serious tilt, far above a vanilla “broad market” feel. Financials, industrials, and telecoms show up respectably, but nothing comes close to the tech dominance. The top look-through names — Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta — read like a who’s who of modern hype. Calling this a value-tilted portfolio while those names run the show is like ordering a salad and then drowning it in triple-cheese dressing. The label says “sensible”; the internals say “growth junkie.”

Regions Info

  • North America
    58%
  • Europe Developed
    13%
  • Asia Developed
    11%
  • Asia Emerging
    7%
  • Japan
    6%
  • Latin America
    2%
  • Africa/Middle East
    1%
  • Australasia
    1%
  • Europe Emerging
    1%

Geographically, it’s “Global” with a very strong North American accent: 58% parked there. The rest of the world gets to share scraps — Europe, Asia, and emerging regions together are basically the side dish. This isn’t unusual for a market-cap-weighted approach, but let’s not pretend it’s a truly even-handed global vote. It’s essentially a bet that where the biggest companies already are is where the future will stay. Sensible by default maybe, but hardly imaginative. The global spread looks decent on a map, but the economic voice-over is basically “US plus guests.”

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    46%
  • Large-cap
    37%
  • Mid-cap
    15%

On market cap, this portfolio hugs the big end of town: 46% mega-cap, 37% large-cap, and only 15% mid-cap. Small caps might as well not exist. That’s like claiming to love “all music” and then only listening to stadium headliners. The heavy tilt to the biggest companies keeps things more stable than a small-cap circus, but also ties returns to whatever the current corporate giants do. If the leaders stumble, there’s not much exposure to the scrappier, higher-growth fringe to offset that. Safe-ish by equity standards, but definitely not adventurous.

  • Top 10 total 18.49%

Look-through holdings reveal the usual suspects behaving like they own the place: Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and friends. These names show up through multiple ETFs, so the true concentration is sneakier than it looks on a simple fund list. With only about a quarter of total exposure visible via top-10 positions, overlap is definitely understated, not overestimated. Effectively, the portfolio is paying three different managers to buy the same celebrities. It looks diversified at the fund level but, under the hood, a small tech-heavy elite is doing most of the work.

Risk contribution Info

    Weight: 50.00%
    50.1%
  • iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF USD (Acc) EUR

  • SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR
    Weight: 15.00%
    15.6%

Risk contribution is surprisingly neat: weights and risk are almost one-to-one. The 50% ACWI fund contributes about 50% of risk, and the three 15–20% satellites collectively drive the remaining chunk. Top three positions make up 84.42% of total risk, so this is very much a three-fund show with one clear lead actor. No tiny wild-card positions secretly detonating volatility — just straightforward “what you see is what shakes you.” It’s clean, but also slightly boring: nearly all the drama is concentrated in a few broad, overlapping funds that rise and fall together.

    High correlation

The correlation story is basically: the S&P 500 ETF and the ACWI ETF move almost identically. That’s not a diversification masterclass; that’s buying two nearly-synced versions of the same ride. Correlation just means how similarly things wiggle — here, the wiggle is close to mirror mode. In a real crash, both these funds will likely dive together, leaving very little comfort in owning both. It’s like having two umbrellas made from the same leaky fabric and expecting one of them to stay dry when it rains.

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.

Click on the colored dots to explore allocations.

On the risk–return chart, the portfolio is politely underachieving. With a Sharpe ratio of 1.42, it sits below the efficient frontier by 2.35 percentage points at its current risk level. Translation: for the amount of volatility taken (13.27%), the return is good, but not as good as it could be using the exact same ingredients. The optimal mix of these funds hits a sharper 1.96 with higher returns for only slightly more risk. Even the minimum-variance version outclasses it on risk-adjusted terms. This setup isn’t bad — just objectively leaving easy efficiency on the table.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • iShares Edge MSCI EM Value Factor UCITS ETF USD (Acc) USD 0.40%
  • iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF USD (Acc) EUR 0.30%
  • SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR 0.03%
  • SSgA SPDR ETFs Europe I Public Limited Company - SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF 0.12%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.18%

Costs are the one area where this portfolio doesn’t embarrass itself. A total TER of 0.18% is very reasonable for a multi-ETF global equity setup. You’re not getting fleeced; you’re paying budget-airline prices for a flight that mostly lands where the index does. The factor ETFs at 0.30–0.40% are on the pricey side compared to plain trackers, but the blended result is still fine. Fees are under control — you clearly avoided the “1% because marketing said smart” trap. For once, the default setting isn’t quietly draining your returns.
