The risk profile, derived from past market volatility, reflects the level of risk the portfolio is exposed to. This assessment helps align your investments with your financial goals and comfort with market fluctuations.
The diversification assessment evaluates the spread of investments across asset classes, regions, and sectors. This ensures a balanced mix, reducing risk and maximizing returns by not concentrating in any single area.
Cautious Investors
This portfolio suits the thrill-seeker who loves the glitz and glam of big names and shiny objects but lacks the patience for a well-rounded strategy. It's for someone who enjoys the gamble of gold and the allure of top-tier stocks, mistaking volatility for excitement. This investor likely has a moderate risk tolerance, dreams of quick gains, and a short to medium-term outlook, but may not be prepared for the stomach-churning dips that come with such a concentrated bet.
This portfolio seems to think it's clever by putting all its eggs into two baskets: a heavyweight S&P 500 ETF and a shiny gold trust. At first glance, it's like someone tried to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but forgot the bread. With 60% of the portfolio in stocks and a whopping 40% in gold, it's less diversified and more like playing financial Jenga with only two types of blocks.
With a historical CAGR of 15.82%, it's not all doom and gloom, but let's not start the parade just yet. This performance comes with a max drawdown of nearly 19%, suggesting that when things go south, they really pack a punch. It's like being on a roller coaster where the highs are high, but the lows have you questioning all your life choices. And those 29 days carrying 90% of your returns? That's not strategy; that's luck dressed in a business suit.
Monte Carlo simulations throw dice on your future, and with this portfolio, it's a mixed bag. Sure, all simulations show positive returns, but banking on an 18.10% annualized return feels like expecting to hit every green light on your way home. It's optimistic, not realistic. The reality is, with such a narrow focus, you're as likely to hit a jackpot as you are to miss out on broader opportunities.
Stocks and gold, that's it. This portfolio treats asset classes like a diet consisting only of steak and ice cream. While both can be great, the lack of vegetables (bonds, real estate, etc.) means you're missing out on essential nutrients. This imbalance could lead to financial indigestion, especially in turbulent markets.
The sector spread within the stock portion is like a party where tech is the loud guest hogging the conversation. With over 20% in technology, the portfolio is riding the Silicon Valley wave, but remember, even the best parties have to end. Diversification across sectors is like having a good playlist; it keeps the party going even if one song flops.
With 60% in North America and a glaring zero in Europe or anywhere else, this portfolio has a case of home bias so strong, it probably refuses to acknowledge other continents exist. It's like going to an international food festival and only eating burgers. Broadening geographic exposure could spice things up and reduce the risk of domestic downturns.
This portfolio loves the big players, with 28% in mega-caps. It's akin to only being friends with celebrities; exciting, sure, but not always the most reliable. A mix of market caps can provide stability and growth potential that our star-struck investor is currently overlooking.
With a total dividend yield of 0.66%, this portfolio isn't going to make anyone rich with income. It's like having a job that pays in compliments; nice to have, but it won't pay the bills. Increasing exposure to higher-yielding assets could provide a steady cash flow, adding a cushion for rough patches.
The low total expense ratio (TER) of 0.05% is like finding a cheap flight to your dream destination. It's one of the few commendably frugal aspects of this portfolio, ensuring that costs don't eat too much into the returns. At least the portfolio gets a pat on the back for being cost-efficient.
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.
The portfolio's attempt at optimization is like trying to improve gas mileage by kicking the tires. With an optimal portfolio suggesting an 18.26% expected return for the same level of risk, it's clear there's room for improvement. It's not just about having the right ingredients but knowing how to mix them.
