AI Insight on Diversification


The portfolio is moderately diversified with a mix of correlations that suggest both complementary and overlapping exposures. The correlation matrix reveals that UBT and UST are highly correlated at 0.89, indicating these two positions move very closely together, which could reduce diversification benefits within the fixed income or bond segment of the portfolio. Similarly, SSO and DIG have a relatively strong positive correlation of 0.61, implying some overlap in equity exposure, potentially concentrating risk in similar market drivers.

On the other hand, UGL shows very low correlations with SSO (0.04) and DIG (0.10), which helps improve diversification by introducing an asset that behaves differently from the main equity holdings. The negative correlations of UST and UBT with SSO and DIG (around -0.26 to -0.31) further enhance diversification by offsetting equity risk with bond-like behavior.

Looking at the portfolio’s correlation with individual positions, UBT (0.62) and UST (0.57) have the highest correlations, suggesting these bond-related assets have a stronger influence on the portfolio’s overall movement. The equity positions (SSO at 0.45 and DIG at 0.33) have moderate influence, while UGL’s correlation with the portfolio is lower (0.40), indicating it contributes to diversification rather than dominating the portfolio’s returns.

Overall, the portfolio is not overly concentrated but does have clusters of highly correlated positions that could limit diversification benefits, particularly within the bond segment. The presence of lowly correlated assets like UGL and the negative correlations between bonds and equities support a balanced risk profile, consistent with the All Weather strategy’s goal of performing across different market environments.
