When to Activate This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Provides a list of holdings (ticker + shares or $ value) and asks for portfolio analysis
• Asks about their portfolio's performance, sector concentration, or risk metrics
• Wants a rebalancing recommendation
• Asks how their portfolio compares to the S&P 500 or benchmarks
• Asks which positions are dragging or leading performance

Required Information

Before starting, collect:

1. Holdings list: Each entry needs ticker, shares (or current_value), and optionally cost_basis
2. Total portfolio value (or derive from positions)
3. Target allocation (if rebalancing is requested) — e.g., "60% equities, 30% bonds, 10% cash"
4. Benchmark — Default is S&P 500 (SPY)

Example holdings input format:

AAPL: 50 shares @ $150 cost basis
MSFT: 30 shares @ $280 cost basis
NVDA: 20 shares @ $400 cost basis
SPY:  100 shares @ $420 cost basis

Analysis Workflow

Step 1 — Position Valuation

For each holding:

Current Value   = shares × current_price
Daily P&L       = shares × (current_price − prev_close_price)
Daily P&L %     = current_price / prev_close_price − 1
Total P&L       = current_value − (shares × cost_basis)    [if cost basis provided]
Total P&L %     = (current_value / (shares × cost_basis)) − 1
Portfolio Weight = current_value / total_portfolio_value

Step 2 — Portfolio-Level Metrics

Performance:

Portfolio Daily Return  = Σ (weight_i × daily_return_i)
Portfolio Total Return  = (total_current_value / total_cost_basis) − 1  [if basis known]
Best Performer (1D)     = max daily_return_i
Worst Performer (1D)    = min daily_return_i

Risk Metrics (estimate from weights and sector exposure):

• Concentration Risk: Largest single position as % of portfolio

  • 20%: High concentration ⚠️

  • 35%: Very high concentration 🚨

• Sector Concentration: Top sector weight

  • 40%: Sector-concentrated ⚠️

• Beta Approximation: Weight-average of individual stock betas (if available from profile data)
  • Use sector beta proxies: Tech ≈ 1.3, Utilities ≈ 0.5, Financials ≈ 1.1, Healthcare ≈ 0.7

Benchmark Comparison:

Relative Return (1D) = Portfolio Daily Return − S&P 500 Daily Return

Step 3 — Sector Allocation Analysis

Group holdings by sector (using profile data):

• Compute actual sector weights
• Compare to S&P 500 sector weights (approximate benchmarks):
  • Technology: 29%, Healthcare: 13%, Financials: 13%, Consumer Disc: 11%, Industrials: 9%, Communication: 8%, Energy: 4%, Consumer Staples: 6%, Real Estate: 3%, Materials: 2%, Utilities: 2%

Flag overweight (> +10pp vs benchmark) and underweight (\x3C -10pp vs benchmark) sectors.

Step 4 — Rebalancing Analysis (if requested)

Target deviation detection:

For each position:
  Target Weight = stated_target_%
  Current Weight = current_value / total_value
  Drift = Current Weight − Target Weight
  Rebalance Action = BUY/SELL if abs(Drift) > 5%
  Rebalance Quantity = abs(Drift × total_value) / current_price  [shares to trade]

Tax-aware note: Flag positions with > 1 year holding for LTCG treatment before suggesting sells.

Step 5 — Actionable Recommendations

Generate 3–5 specific recommendations:

• Positions to trim (concentration/overweight sector)
• Positions to add (underweight sectors relative to conviction)
• Hedging suggestions (if portfolio Beta > 1.2 and market at all-time highs)
• Cash deployment suggestions (if cash > 10% of target)

Limitations

• Batch quote latency may be 1–15 minutes delayed depending on data source.
• Beta estimates are approximated from sector proxies unless individual beta data is available.
• Bond, international equity, and alternative assets are not currently covered.
• This skill does not connect to brokerage accounts or execute trades.
