Balanced weight in portfolios in all sectors?

Question

As I new investor, I understood that in order to be "diversified", it was recommended that Ihave equal weight in all sectors but I do not see that in your early growth portfolio. So it looks like if certain sectors, like healthcare and utilities haven't performed well in the past, I can keep their weights lower? I know you can't tell me what to do, but I'd like to know your thoughts on this question. Thanks.

Hi there. I guess the main question I would ask is who told you to be equal weight in all sectors? This is not a strategy that I would deploy.
