Participants with advised accounts also have a more diversified asset allocation mix, including a lower concentration of assets in individual securities. For example, the top individual equity holding across all participants is Apple, comprising 13% of equity assets on average. However, advised participants only had approximately 8% of their equity assets in Apple, while non-advised participants had 14%.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOverall, asset allocation remained similar to Q2 with the exception of an increase in equities from 30.15% in Q2 to 32.54% in Q3. The majority of participant assets were held in equities, followed by mutual funds (32%), ETFs (18%), cash (16%), and fixed income (2%).\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Allocation Trends<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe data also reveals specific asset class and sector holdings within each investment category:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><span class=\"bwuline\">Mutual funds<\/span>: Large-cap funds had the largest allocation at approximately 32% of all mutual fund allocations, followed by taxable bond (21%) and international (14%) funds.\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"bwuline\">Equities<\/span>: Information technology remained the largest equity sector holding at 31%, up from 30% in Q2 2020. Apple continues to be the top overall equity holding, comprising 13% of the equity allocation of portfolios. The other equity holdings in the top five include Amazon (6.8%), Tesla (6.1%), Microsoft (3.1%), and Nvidia (1.8%).\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"bwuline\">ETFs<\/span>: Among ETFs, investors allocated the most dollars to U.S. equity (48%), followed by U.S. fixed income (17%), international equity (12%) and sector ETFs (12%).\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Other Report Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nOn average, participants held 10.8 positions in their SDBAs at the end of Q3 2020, which has remained consistent both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter.
