Why should I not consider the performance of a 'partially-diversified' portfolio?

A QuietGrowth model portfolio comprises specific securities. If the money you deposit in your QuietGrowth portfolio is not invested in all these securities, we refer to your portfolio as a 'partly-diversified portfolio'. The performance of a partially-diversified portfolio will be different from the performance of the QuietGrowth model portfolio of the same risk score. This difference is because your portfolio is not invested in all the recommended securities. So, we suggest you do not consider the performance of your partially-diversified portfolio.
