Conclusions.
The analysis was carried out on a portfolio in which the underlyings are equally weighted at 20 percent and are part of the same stock index: the S&P500. Despite the attractive returns achieved over the past 10 years, mainly driven by Apple stock, such a portfolio is poorly diversified and very volatile, having only a sector component as an element of diversification. The ESG profile of such a portfolio is at an intermediate-high level.
