PortfoliosLab Trends Portfolio Rebalance (October 2023)
The PortfoliosLab Trends Portfolio has been rebalanced today. Every three months, we analyze all user portfolios on PortfoliosLab, select the top 10 symbols that make up those portfolios, and weigh them by popularity.
In this update, the Invesco QQQ ETF has been newly added with a weight of 7.33%. The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF has been removed; it previously held a weight of 6.95%.
Other noteworthy changes include a drop in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF popularity from 11.35% to 10.62% and a rise in the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF from 11.87% to 12.42%. But overall, the portfolio remains stable, with other changes in it being relatively minor.
Previous allocation
New allocation
The portfolio remains heavily weighted in technology, with symbols like AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA, which suggests a generally bullish sentiment on the tech sector. The addition of QQQ, which tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index, further reinforces this focus. The removal of SCHD could signal a shift away from dividend-yielding stocks towards growth or sector-specific assets.
Stay tuned for our next rebalancing update in three months to see how market trends continue to influence this unique portfolio.

Discrepancy between SPY and ^GSPC?
Hello, from the charts, SPY seems to be outperforming its benchmark ^GSPC. That looks strange. From my understanding, SPY is designed to closely track the S&P 500.
Could there be an error in the charts?
