Diversification
AI Analysis
The gist
The portfolio is a four-stock bet on a fairly low-correlation mix of healthcare, consumer discretionary, and financial services, which is one of the cleaner ways to get real diversification while still keeping the thesis legible.
The numbers
- Diversification ratio is 1.66 over 1Y and 1.48 since inception, both around the 76th-85th percentile on the platform; that is meaningful diversification, not decorative variety.
- Effective asset count is 3.74 of 4, so the weights are spread rather than secretly concentrated in one name.
- Pairwise correlations run only 0.24-0.36, with the highest linkage between LULU and BRKR, which is a polite reminder that “different sectors” is not the same thing as “independent.”
The good
- MOH, LULU, SLM, and BRKR each sit in their own cluster, so the portfolio is not just one macro trade wearing four tickers.
- The healthcare sleeves and the consumer cyclical sleeve have especially low correlation, which helps when one part of the portfolio is being valued on earnings stability and another on spending cycles.
- The portfolio’s diversification has held up across time windows, which usually means the mix is structural rather than accidental.
The bad
- The position-to-portfolio correlations are still 0.57-0.71, so each name remains pretty important to the whole; diversification exists, but it is not armored.
- LULU and BRKR are the closest pair, which means the portfolio is a little less independent than the sector labels suggest.
The ugly
- In a broad risk-off move that hits both consumer spending and smaller growth-style healthcare names, the correlation math can tighten quickly; then the portfolio behaves less like four sleeves and more like one cautious-then-not-so-cautious equity book.
Next steps
- Portfolios with this correlation profile are often most robust when their return drivers stay visibly separate, especially across growth, healthcare utilization, and credit conditions.
- The current structure would be described as diversified, though not so diversified that macro stress would fail to show up.
Diversification Metrics
Number of Effective Assets
The portfolio contains 4 assets, with an effective number of assets of 3.74, reflecting the diversification based on asset allocation. Your capital is spread almost evenly across your holdings, indicating a well-balanced allocation. Note that true diversification also depends on the correlations between assets — check the diversification ratio below.

The portfolio has a diversification ratio of 1.48, in line with the typical range across portfolios. There's room to improve by adding less correlated assets.
