Positions

This portfolio exhibits a strategic blend of equity and fixed income assets, with a dominant allocation towards stocks (89%) and a moderate placement in bonds (10%). The equity portion is well-diversified across major ETFs, including broad market indices like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and specialized funds such as the Invesco QQQ Trust, which has a tech-heavy focus. The inclusion of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF Shares and the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Index Fund ETF Shares enhances global exposure, while the Strategic Advisers Fidelity Core Income Fund provides a stable fixed income component.

Growth Info

With a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.29% and a maximum drawdown of -30.88%, the portfolio demonstrates robust growth potential balanced with significant volatility. The days contributing to 90% of returns being concentrated in just 18.0 days highlight the portfolio's susceptibility to short-term market movements, underscoring the importance of a long-term investment horizon to navigate through volatile periods effectively.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, which project future performance based on historical data, suggest a wide range of outcomes for this portfolio. With 961 out of 1,000 simulations yielding positive returns, the median projected growth is substantial. However, it's crucial to remember that these projections are not guarantees but rather scenarios to help in understanding potential volatility and risk. The simulations reinforce the portfolio's growth orientation but also highlight the need for risk tolerance.

    89%
  • Bonds

  • Cash
    2%

The portfolio's asset class distribution, with a heavy tilt towards stocks, aligns with its growth profile. This composition is suitable for capital appreciation over time but comes with higher volatility compared to more conservative allocations. The 10% bond allocation and 2% in cash provide a cushion against market downturns, though investors might consider if the current bond allocation adequately balances the equity risk.

This distribution supports the portfolio's growth objectives while offering a degree of resilience through diversification.

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.

Considering the Efficient Frontier, this portfolio appears well-positioned for growth-oriented investors seeking a balanced risk-return profile. However, continuous optimization may further enhance its efficiency. Adjustments to asset allocation, based on changing market conditions and personal financial goals, can help maintain an optimal risk-return balance. It's important to remember that "efficiency" in this context means achieving the best possible returns for the accepted level of risk.
