AI Insight on Diversification
The portfolio is moderately diversified within the tech dividend stock space but shows signs of concentration due to generally high correlations among its holdings. Most individual positions exhibit correlations in the range of approximately 0.35 to 0.76 with the portfolio, indicating that the portfolio’s returns are fairly closely tied to the performance of its constituent stocks.
Examining pairwise correlations between individual stocks reveals that many positions are strongly correlated, often above 0.4 and frequently exceeding 0.5, such as MSFT and INTC (0.55), CSCO and INTC (0.56), and TXN and INTC (0.63). These elevated correlations suggest that these stocks tend to move in tandem, which limits the diversification benefit within the portfolio. The presence of multiple pairs with correlations above 0.5 points to a concentration in similar market or sector drivers.
On the other hand, the lowest correlations among holdings hover around 0.34 to 0.38 (e.g., GLW with AAPL at 0.34 and GLW with IBM at 0.38), which provides some diversification buffer but is not sufficiently low to significantly reduce overall portfolio risk. The absence of correlations near zero or negative indicates that the portfolio lacks positions that would act as strong diversifiers by moving independently or inversely relative to others.
Regarding dominance, the highest correlations with the portfolio are seen with INTC (0.76), TXN (0.74), and CSCO (0.74), suggesting these stocks have a larger influence on the portfolio’s performance. This could be due to larger position sizes or higher individual volatilities. The portfolio’s correlation with these stocks being close to or above 0.7 implies that its returns are heavily influenced by their behavior, which can increase concentration risk.
In summary, while the portfolio includes multiple dividend-paying tech stocks, it is relatively concentrated with many holdings moving closely together. The moderate correlations and lack of low or negative correlations among positions mean the portfolio’s diversification benefits are limited, and it remains exposed to sector-specific risks. To enhance diversification, incorporating assets with lower correlations or from different sectors or investment styles would be beneficial.
