How Does an Investor Make It Into the Top 10?
The WealthCheck score is Selfwealth proprietary measurement used to rank an investor against the Community. It takes into account an investor performance over a 12-month period (50% of the score) as compared to the Community the diversity of their portfolio (40% of the score) and the valuation as per Thomson Reuters (the remaining 10%). The WealthCheck is then represented as a letter starting from A+ and bottoming out at F.

The ETF Hype Continues
The previous quarter contained a total of five ETFs “ VAF VAS VTS ETHI and IVV “ but we've now got eight ETFs in the index. Noticeably some exposure to Asia and an increase in exposure to the US. US ETFs representing 20% of the portfolio if weighted equally an approach Selfwealth champions.Selfwealth is poised to launch its very own ETF soon driven by Community data¦ watch this space!
The Big Ins
The FinTech revolution is also gaining traction with the Community. Afterpay makes the cut for the first time as the Community backs independent financial institutions as opposed to the big 4 banks.
The Big Outs
Telstra is out. Has the Community woken up to the fact that although Telstra has historically paid great franked dividends maybe the capital growth story is not so rosy for the future?
The Banks Hold On (Just¦)
Despite the findings of the Royal Commission and the subsequent media beating the top performers continue to hold onto NAB Westpac and Macquarie. CBA and ANZ are notable by their absence however they weren't in the index last quarter either.
