Diversification
AI Analysis
The gist
The portfolio is really three sleeves: global equities, bonds, and crypto. The mathematics say the bond sleeve is doing the real diversification work, while VTI and VXUS are close enough cousins that they mostly argue over the same macro headlines.
The numbers
- Effective asset count: 3.77 of 5 — respectable, though not the sort of count that makes correlation do much heavy lifting.
- Diversification ratio: 1.24 at 1Y and 1.40 incept, with the shorter window sitting at the 40.2th percentile and the longer one around the mid-60s percentile; diversification exists, but it is not especially generous.
- Mean correlation: 0.22, with a tight bond-to-everything else set near zero and a clear equity pair at 0.75.
The good
- BND sits almost orthogonally to the rest, so the portfolio has a genuine low-correlation anchor rather than merely a different flavor of equity risk.
- The BTC-USD / ETH-USD pair is internally coherent; the crypto sleeve is one idea, not two unrelated ones.
- The 5Y and incept DR are better than the 1Y figure, which suggests the diversification picture has not been steadily deteriorating.
The bad
- VTI and VXUS form a classic overlap cluster; in practice, the portfolio holds two broad equity proxies with a lot of the same risk factors.
- BTC-USD and ETH-USD are both large enough to matter and correlated enough to behave like one volatile sleeve in stress.
- The portfolio’s diversification is therefore more about asset class separation than about many independent return engines.
The ugly
- In an equity drawdown that is also a liquidity event, the equity cluster and the crypto cluster can become friends very quickly, leaving BND as the only serious offset.
Next steps
- Portfolios with this correlation profile are typically clearer when the equity sleeve is either more explicitly domestic or more explicitly international, rather than both at once.
- Portfolios with a crypto sleeve this compact often behave as if they have one crypto factor, not two positions.
- The DR profile would usually improve more from exposures with different earnings drivers than from more names in the same market regimes.
Diversification Metrics
Number of Effective Assets
The portfolio contains 5 assets, with an effective number of assets of 3.77, reflecting the diversification based on asset allocation. Your capital is well-distributed across most of your holdings, with only mild concentration in a few names. True diversification also depends on the correlations between assets — check the diversification ratio below.

1Y | 3Y | 5Y | 10Y | All Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Diversification Ratio | 1.24 | 1.32 | 1.29 | 1.35 | 1.40 |
The portfolio has a diversification ratio of 1.40, in line with the typical range across portfolios. There's room to improve by adding less correlated assets.
