More holdings do not automatically mean greater diversity.
A portfolio’s shared economic exposures can matter more than the number of its holdings.
01 / MCM
Identify shared dependencies.
Companies in different industries may share customer markets, financing conditions or currencies. In some situations, those common factors can matter more than their visible differences.
Portfolio analysis should therefore consider economic drivers alongside formal classifications.
02 / MCM
Describe concentration explicitly.
Concentration can relate to individual holdings, industries, regions or particular assumptions. A shared expectation of growth or low financing costs may affect several positions at once.
Documenting those dependencies makes portfolio structure easier to understand.
03 / MCM
Diversification requires continuing review.
Business models and economic relationships change. An initial classification does not automatically remain valid. New markets, acquisitions and changing revenue structures may shift a holding’s profile.
Regular review connects the original idea with the portfolio’s actual development.
