Target Allocation Drilldown
Explore hypothetical regional and sector or bond category weights from static ETF sample profiles. The profiles are not current fund holdings.

How the allocation drilldown works
Choose from the listed tickers and enter a nonnegative allocation weight for each. Every ticker is paired with a simplified, undated sample profile created for this tool. It does not represent current or historical fund holdings.
The calculator rescales positive allocations so their weights total 100%, then combines each sample profile's regional and category percentages. Allocation weights can use any positive scale. A zero weight is kept as an input but contributes nothing.
The region table shows the weighted regional mix. The category table combines stock sector labels and bond buckets. Their labels are illustrative categories, not a consistent industry taxonomy.
Pair warnings compare static profile percentages. For a shared region or category, both profile weights must be strictly greater than 10%. A warning is not a comparison of underlying securities or proof of actual fund overlap.
Step by step
- Select a listed ticker and enter its allocation weight.
- Add other sample profiles and review the normalized region and category tables.
- Read pair warnings as a threshold check on sample profiles, not as a holdings audit.
Worked example
For the VT and BND sample profiles, enter allocations of 60% and 40%. The model assigns VT 63% to the US region and BND 100% to the US region, producing a combined US region weight of 77.8%. The other regional weights are 13.2% developed outside the US and 9% emerging markets.
The combined category weights include 26% government bonds, 16.2% other, 14.4% technology, and 10% corporate bonds. A region warning appears for VT and BND because both sample profiles assign more than 10% to the US region. These figures reproduce the static example profiles only; they are not current ETF exposures.
When to use this calculator
Use this calculator to see how positive allocation weights combine the tool's simplified regional and category sample profiles.
It can help you inspect the example assumptions tied to listed tickers. Check fund documents separately for dated holdings or verified exposure data.
Common interpretation errors
Do not describe these sample weights as current ETF holdings or verified fund exposures. The profiles are static and undated, so they cannot confirm what a fund owns now or owned on a past date.
Do not interpret the 10% pair warning as proof of shared securities or as a diversification grade. It only applies the stated threshold to the simplified profile categories.
Allocation formulas
Normalized allocation for ETF i = positive allocation for ETF i ÷ sum of all positive allocations
Regional weight = sum of (normalized ETF allocation × sample profile region weight)
Category weight = sum of (normalized ETF allocation × sample profile category weight)
Pair warning = both selected ETFs have a sample weight greater than 10% in the same region or category
Profile weights and outputs are percentages. Positive allocations are normalized to a combined 100%. Zero allocations are excluded from the blend and pair warnings. A pair warning uses a strict greater than 10% test for each profile. The threshold is an illustrative rule, not measured security overlap. Stock sectors and bond categories share one output table.
Scope and limitations
The ETF profiles are simplified, undated examples created for this tool. Their regional and category percentages are not current holdings, dated historical data, issuer verified weights, or a security level look through. Results are hypothetical blends of these profiles. Positive allocations are normalized to 100%, and a zero allocation contributes nothing. Pair warnings apply an arbitrary strict greater than 10% threshold to shared profile categories. They do not measure overlap in underlying securities or portfolio risk. Stock sector labels and bond buckets are mixed in one category table. The tool does not model returns, fees, taxes, account constraints, or investor suitability. Nonfinite or unsupported results are withheld.
Key terms
- Sample profile weight
- An undated, simplified regional or category weight assigned to a ticker for this tool's hypothetical calculation. It is not a verified fund holding.
- Normalized allocation
- A positive entered allocation divided by the sum of positive allocations, so the selected weights combine to 100%.
- Pair warning
- A flag raised when two selected sample profiles each have more than 10% in the same region or category.

FAQ
Do these results show current ETF holdings?
Each ticker has a simplified, undated sample profile created for this tool. The profiles are illustrative inputs, not actual current or historical ETF holdings and not issuer verified weights.
How are the combined weights calculated?
The tool divides each positive allocation by the sum of all positive allocations, then applies those normalized weights to the sample profiles. The entered allocations do not need to sum to 100%. Zero allocations do not affect exposures.
Are all categories stock market sectors?
The displayed category table mixes stock sector labels with bond buckets such as government, corporate, and mortgage. It is a simplified category view, not a GICS sector classification or a bond holdings analysis.
What triggers an overlap warning?
A warning appears only when two selected profiles both assign more than 10% to the same region or category. This threshold is an arbitrary illustrative rule. It does not compare underlying securities or measure holdings overlap.
Does a warning prove that two funds hold the same assets?
No. A warning describes shared sample profile categories under the displayed rule. It does not establish that funds own the same securities, that diversification is inadequate, or that an allocation should change.
