It can lead to wilder swings in returns compared to a more diversified approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the first piece of advice investors receive in their journey is to construct a balanced portfolio which will provide smoother long-term returns, but this has become increasingly trickier than it seems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have hand picked stocks or even invested in a broad index your portfolio is likely suffering from an increasing amount of concentration risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the S&amp;P 500 diversified?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, not really\u2026 since it is a market capitalisation weighted index, larger companies have a heavier impact on the index performance (as opposed to an equal weight index, where all companies have the same impact on performance). So, perhaps unintuitively, the go-to index for passive investors of 500 US stocks suffers from significant concentration risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise of the \u2018Magnificent Seven\u2019 has been well documented and they now make up one third of the index collectively. In fact, they have contributed more than half of the index\u2019s returns in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1.png 722w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1-696x579.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1-505x420.png 505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this mean in reality?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To highlight the risk here, borrowing our earlier analogy, those seven eggs are much larger, taking up a significant amount of space in the basket and will heavily dictate our portfolio outcome if their bull run ends and they underperform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you remove NVIDIA the remaining six stocks struggled to keep pace with the S&amp;P 500 in the first half of the year, and with wilder swings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the average annualised volatility of these 7 stocks is almost triple that of the S&amp;P 500 index, resulting in bigger deviations in performance. It would be prudent to consider supplementing your portfolio with an S&amp;P 500 ETF that is equal-weighted, included in all our flagship Core portfolios, which reduces this concentration risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4793\" title=\"Chart\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s a whole world out there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversification can take many forms, whilst the S&amp;P 500 represents more than 80% of total US equity market capitalisation, it represents only 48% of the world equity market. That is a lot of exposure we are missing out on, so diversifying geographically with investments in other developed and developing markets is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2.png 728w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-696x572.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2-511x420.png 511w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, we should diversify into other asset classes. Bonds have one of the most favourable entry points in recent times with yields at 15-year highs given the current interest rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commodities are also an important pillar of a diverse portfolio. Gold in particular, often used as a defensive asset before a market downturn would help reduce volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to diversify your investments with Syfe Wealth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/en-hk\">flagship core portfolios<\/a>\u00a0allow you to effortlessly invest in a diverse portfolio of equities, bonds and commodities across countries and sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of&nbsp;<em>Core Equity 100<\/em>,&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Core Growth<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Core Balanced<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Core Defensive&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;are catered to different risk appetites, but they are all professionally managed using low-cost ETFs with exposure to 1000s of underlying securities per portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global and asset class exposures of these portfolios are managed as markets shift, reducing concentration risk, so you don\u2019t have to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article is for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as financial advice.
