Is my portfolio concentrated in too few positions?
An overview question asks what a portfolio holds and what it is worth: the positions, the total, and how each one weighs against the whole. The figures are the latest price of everything held, with cash counted alongside the securities.
Worked through on a sample portfolio. The figures below are that portfolio’s, not yours.
Here are the facts from your portfolio so you can judge concentration yourself.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Portfolio value [EUR] | 90.983,96 € |
| Number of holdings | 11 |
| Top holding | Apple Inc. — Weight (%) |
| Top 5 holdings combined — Weight (%) | 65,64% |
| Top 1 holding — Weight (%) | 18,41% |
| Weight in Mega Cap companies — Weight (%) | 53,51% |
| Allocation to single asset class (Stock) — Weight (%) | 49,09% |
| Cash weight (%) | 6,06% |
| Coverage of country allocation (%) | 99,40% |
What these numbers mean (plain language)
- You hold 11 assets and the single largest position is Apple Inc. at 18,41% of the portfolio.
- Your five largest positions make up 65,64% of the portfolio.
- Mega-cap companies account for 53,51% of value; stocks overall are 49,09% of the portfolio.
- Cash is 6,06% of the portfolio, and country coverage is 99,40% (the breakdowns shown reflect this coverage).
You can use those figures to assess concentration against any personal rule of thumb (for example, whether you find a top-5 weight of 65,64% or a single holding at 18,41% acceptable).
