4. The "core" of your portfolio is typically invested in low fee products that
perform in line with the markets after fees.
Investors will receive close to market returns and close to market
volatility, but by design these products are unlikely to outperform.

also small.

Satellites will often be managed actively and will rely on the skill of the
fund manager to achieve returns. They may not invest in stocks you
recognise and they may charge higher fees.
Correlation with your core portfolio will likely be low. Your satellite
portfolios may perform well when your core portfolios perform poorly.

investing:
