AI Insight on Diversification
The portfolio is moderately diversified within the tech dividend stocks space but shows signs of concentration due to generally high correlations among its positions. Most individual stocks exhibit correlations in the 0.35 to 0.76 range with the portfolio, indicating that movements in these stocks tend to move somewhat in tandem with the overall portfolio.
There are no pairs of stocks with extremely high correlations (e.g., above 0.9) that would clearly indicate redundant holdings, but many pairs have correlations in the 0.4 to 0.7 range, which is relatively high. For example, INTC has correlations above 0.55 with MSFT, TXN, CSCO, and ORCL, suggesting these stocks share similar market drivers or sector influences. This clustering of moderately high correlations can reduce the diversification benefits since stocks tend to move together during market shifts.
On the other hand, the lowest correlations are around 0.34 to 0.38 (e.g., GLW with AAPL, QCOM, and IBM), which provide some diversification relief within the portfolio. These lower correlations help to mitigate risk by introducing some degree of independent movement among holdings.
The portfolio correlation with individual positions ranges from 0.61 (GLW) up to 0.76 (INTC), with INTC and CSCO showing the highest correlations to the portfolio. This suggests these positions have a stronger influence on the portfolio's overall behavior, potentially indicating a slight dominance by these stocks in terms of risk and return contribution.
Overall, the portfolio is somewhat concentrated within a specific sector and dividend-focused tech stocks, with moderate correlations limiting diversification. While it avoids extreme concentration in any single position, the relatively high inter-stock correlations imply that the portfolio may be vulnerable to sector-wide risks and less protected against idiosyncratic shocks than a more broadly diversified portfolio would be.
