In this episode we are reflecting on our Sector Allocations. These allocations can have a heavy impact on your portfolio if not considered properly. As an example, the Energy sector has been weakest performing sector Year To Date and being overweight in this sector could have had severe consequences in pursuit of your goals.

We started with the news of the week

👉 European Dividend Growth Investor shares his thoughts about the recent IPO of AirBNB and the news about the first person being vaccinated in the UK.
