### Strategy Notes

### Growth & Innovation Stocks (35%)

This slice is built to help you benefit from long-term trends like AI, green energy, and advanced computing. Some positions may carry short-term volatility but are chosen based on solid momentum and upside catalysts.

### Cryptocurrency Allocation (30%)

Includes a balanced mix of large caps and smaller tokens with breakout potential. Your willingness to be involved allows for short-term crypto setups to be acted on quickly without overexposure.

### Dividend & Covered Call ETFs (25%)

These provide income and lower correlation with more volatile segments. Covered-call strategies are used to boost monthly yield and add a stabilizing core.

### Cash Reserve (10%)

Useful for scaling into positions, reacting to fast-moving opportunities, or parking funds during periods of uncertainty.

### Key Considerations

Designed to keep you involved in the decision-making process without overwhelming complexity.

Diversified across equities and crypto, balancing stability and growth.

Built to adapt: allocations can be tilted more aggressively or defensively depending on how markets evolve and how comfortable you feel over time.

Trade ideas and portfolio changes will be explained as part of the copy trading system, helping you learn and grow with your capital.

Performance-based structure: no commissions unless your portfolio grows.
