The advent of our proprietary A.I. led to the creation of the Diversification Score®. The Diversification Score® is the credit score of investing — just as a credit score will provide its owner with a clear and thorough understanding of their credit standing, so will a Diversification Score® inform the investor how optimally (or sub-optimally) their portfolio is allocated. For simplicity, the Diversification Score® uses the same scale as the credit score (400-850).”
