- Now, I will show our recommendations and how our recommendation improve the client’s portfolio performance. - First of all, according our asset allocation analysis, we found that Vanguard 2045 is the most appropriate portfolio for this clients based on her age, risk-tolerance, and requirement to diversification. - Thus, we allocate these 6 mutual funds selected through style analysis to form a portfolio with similar assets classes allocation of Vanguard 2045. - By diversifying asset classes to US domestic fixed income and expand the categories of US domestic equity, we could help this client improve the performance of current portfolio.
- This table shows the client’s current asset allocation and holding products. Now, we diversify the US large cap equity to large cap and large cap growth and also change the Vanguard Index 500 to our two recommended funds. As for the US mid cap equity, we maintain the similar weight but change the fund to Thromburg Core Growth. We do not change a lot in the weigh of US small cap equity, and keep holding the same fund. However, the weight of International equity is too high, causing high risk in the current portfolio. Thus, we take 10% off from the international equity and add this 10% to US Fixed Income. At last, we allocate only 18% in international equity. After our adjustment, guess what??
The expected return increases about 9% The standard deviation reduce 8% As for the sharpe ratio, how amazing!! it grows dramatically from 0.54 to 2.06. Those data show that our recommendation indeed improve the client’s current performance obviously.
To conclude, by adopting our recommendation, the client’s portfolio performance not only outperforms the current performance but also beats the target, Vanguard 2040, Vanguard 2045, Vanguard 2050, and 60%US Eq./40% US F.I. That’s our presentation. Thank you for you attention!
