    *Portfolio Characteristics are generalizations and may differ greatly from your particular portfolio's management. Every portfolio is unique and has different income, risk, and tax management considerations. For example, just prior to the COVID crisis, most portfolios went almost completely to cash as opposed to the asset, sector, and industry diversification presented above. Even the re-investment of funds post COVID, occurred more quickly than 'Entry Exposure' would indicate on the chart above.
