Sectors
How the portfolio is spread across GICS sectors — and how deliberately that differs from the major indices. I aim to stay reasonably diversified, but I never feel obliged to own every sector: the job is to hold the best investments I can find, not to mirror the market. The trade-off behind that choice is spelled out in index funds vs individual stocks.
Sector exposure
How the portfolio is spread across the 11 GICS sectors, with cash shown as its own slice. Weight follows conviction rather than any index — some sectors run deliberately large, others are absent entirely.

Why the mix looks different from the index — and why that can be useful
Diversified, not index-shaped
I keep risk spread across sectors, but I don't hold one just because an index does. Weight follows conviction — there's no rule that every sector has to be owned at all times.
Built to outperform, not to match
Matching an index's sector weights is how you match its return. Beating it over time means owning a deliberately different mix — and being willing to be underweight, or absent, wherever I don't see value.
A counterweight to index investing
If your savings already sit largely in index funds or ETFs, a portfolio with intentionally different sector weights can be a real diversifier — adding exposure the index underweights instead of doubling down on what you already own. See how copying works →
How the mix has shifted
The same sectors, but month by month — every position revalued at its real market close and stacked to 100% (cash included), so you can see when a sector grew into the lead or when cash was built up. A rolling two-year view; pick a shorter window with the chips.
