The Tough Question of Good Portfolio Construction and Management


Listen Later

In this episode, Dave and Andrew answer a listener's detailed questions on portfolio construction and management. They discuss portfolio structuring, allocation sizes, the number of companies to hold, diversification, and rebalancing.

They emphasize the importance of having guidelines for full, starter, and prospect positions, balancing between conviction-based and equal weighting, knowing the point at which your portfolio feels 'enough,' and the challenges of trimming versus letting profits run.

They conclude by addressing the necessity of rebalancing with individual stocks, suggesting that cutting profits to diversify could hinder long-term growth.
