Positions

The portfolio is predominantly invested in emerging market equities and the technology sector, with a significant allocation towards liquidity via short-term Treasury bonds. This composition suggests a strategic approach to balancing growth potential through emerging markets and tech exposure with the stability offered by cash equivalents. The heavy weighting in a single fund focused on emerging markets, coupled with a tech-centric ETF, indicates a concentrated risk in specific sectors and regions, which is somewhat mitigated by the liquidity of short-term bonds.

Growth Info

Historically, the portfolio has demonstrated a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.63%, with a notable maximum drawdown of -26.97%. This performance is reflective of the inherent volatility associated with emerging market investments and the tech sector. The days contributing to 90% of returns being concentrated in a small number highlights the portfolio's exposure to significant market movements, underscoring the importance of timing and market conditions in achieving returns.

Projection Info

Monte Carlo simulations, which use historical data to project future outcomes, suggest a wide range of potential future performances for this portfolio. With the majority of simulations (982 out of 1,000) showing positive returns and a median projected increase of 253.4%, the analysis indicates a generally optimistic outlook. However, the significant spread between the 5th and 67th percentiles highlights the high level of uncertainty and risk involved in these projections.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    79%
  • Cash
    21%

Allocating 79% to stocks and 21% to cash equivalents (short-term Treasury bonds) positions the portfolio for growth while maintaining a cushion for liquidity and risk management. This asset class distribution aligns with the portfolio's cautious risk profile, balancing the high growth potential and volatility of stocks with the stability of cash assets. However, the absence of long-term bonds or other fixed-income securities may limit diversification benefits.

The sectoral allocation emphasizes technology, financial services, and communication services, reflecting a focus on sectors that can offer high growth but also come with higher volatility. This concentration in growth-oriented sectors aligns with the portfolio's strategy to capitalize on market trends and innovations, particularly in emerging markets and the tech industry. However, this focus increases susceptibility to sector-specific downturns.

  • Latin America

  • Africa/Middle East
    4%
  • Europe Developed
    2%
  • Europe Emerging
    1%

Geographically, the portfolio is heavily weighted towards emerging markets in Asia and North America, with limited exposure to developed European markets and other regions. This distribution underscores a strategic emphasis on the growth potential in emerging economies and the tech-heavy US market. While this can offer higher returns, it also introduces geopolitical and currency risks associated with emerging markets.

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    47%
  • Large-cap
    22%
  • Mid-cap
    8%
  • Small-cap
    1%
  • Micro-cap
    1%

The predominance of mega and big-cap stocks indicates a focus on established companies, likely to reduce volatility and provide stable returns. However, the limited exposure to medium, small, and micro-cap stocks might restrict opportunities for outsized gains from smaller, high-growth companies. This market capitalization distribution supports the portfolio's cautious risk profile while still aiming for growth.

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.

The current portfolio's expected return, based on optimization analysis, suggests there is room for improvement in achieving a more efficient risk-return balance. By adjusting the asset allocation, it's possible to maintain the same level of risk while potentially increasing the expected return to 3.06%. This indicates that with strategic adjustments, the portfolio can achieve better performance without taking on additional risk.

Dividends Info

  • MFS BLENDED RESEARCH EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND B 1.20%
  • Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF 0.50%
  • iShares® 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF 4.30%
  • Weighted yield (per year) 1.68%

With a total dividend yield of 1.68%, the portfolio offers a modest income component, primarily boosted by the high yield from the short-term Treasury bond ETF. This yield contributes to the portfolio's total return, providing a steady income stream alongside capital appreciation. However, the focus on growth over income is evident in the relatively lower yield from the equity components.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • MFS BLENDED RESEARCH EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND B 1.99%
  • Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF 0.15%
  • iShares® 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF 0.07%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 1.24%

The portfolio's total expense ratio (TER) of 1.24% reflects the combined costs of the emerging markets fund, NASDAQ ETF, and short-term bond ETF. While the costs for the ETFs are low, the emerging markets fund's higher fee significantly impacts the overall cost structure. Reducing costs by optimizing fund selection could enhance long-term returns, especially considering the impact of fees on investment growth over time.
