Growth Portfolio

Last updated Oct 3, 2023

The Growth Portfolio is a diversified investment strategy that allocates assets across domestic and international equities and fixed income. With a higher emphasis on equities (80%) through VEA and VTI, the portfolio aims for capital appreciation, while the 20% allocation to bonds (BND and IGOV) provides stability and income. This portfolio suits investors seeking moderate to high growth potential while maintaining diversification and a modest fixed-income allocation for risk mitigation.
