I am looking at the Dividend Growth Portfolio, although this question will apply to all three. In the write-up, core positions are at 5%, and more speculative positions, to fill out the 25-count roster, are less.

1) Which are the “core positions” (guessing 15) and which are “core”, and which are “others”?
2) for the “others”, what allocations are used (It looks like a range of 2% to 4%) ?

As the holdings drift from their original allocations, it is difficult to divine which are core and various allocation amounts.

Krispee.

ps: it would help if the report identified the core v other holdings and their original allocations.

Hey there. I'll add a snapshot here.

As you can see, "target weight" is what we originally allocate to a position. Current weight factors in price fluctuations.

There can be a wide variety of reasons why we vary position size. For one, could be due to it being a more speculative option. For example in this portfolio, Jamieson Wellness. Great company and a Dividend Bull List stock, but it's just a recent Aristocrat and doesn't have the history as say a CN Rail.

Then there is a situation where we took smaller positions in companies like TMX Group or Intact Financial. This was simply to reduce financial exposure overall. So, nothing more than an allocation thing. Same with Waste Connections. It's a percent less than CN Rail for nothing more than it reducing the overall industrial exposure inside of the portfolio.

Hey there. Yes, because we will aim to update these sheets at minimum once a month, the positions will no doubt stray from their original allocations.

That's a good idea though, thank for you this. We can work something out where we can list these types of holdings on the main page.
