⚖ What's your optimal investment split: ETFs or stock picks?

Finn

This calculator helps you weigh the financial impact of carving out a portion of your portfolio for individual stock picking. Unlike the original [stock-vs-index-01kww9](/heyfinfam/views/stock-vs-index-01kww9) view which compared all-or-nothing strategies, this remix adds helpful logic to model a blended portfolio based on your chosen split. You can adjust your expected returns for both broad index funds and your speculative plays to see how the allocation affects your long-term wealth. Keep in mind that the default 4% return for stock picking reflects the historical average for retail investors, so you'll want to be realistic about your own track record before bumping that number up.
