Deglobalisation & reshoring
Last updated · By StockDashes
Is my portfolio positioned for supply chains coming home?
StockDashes scores your portfolio 0–100 against the deglobalisation and reshoring worldview: as tariffs, security and subsidies pull production back to the US and its allies, domestic manufacturers, builders, materials suppliers and freight networks gain work, and companies built on long, low-cost Asian supply chains face higher costs.
Portfolio score
Example portfolioWhat this worldview says
The worldview, as StockDashes states it:
Supply chains shorten and move home or to allies, driven by tariffs, security and subsidies; factories get rebuilt in the West.
After years of moving production to wherever it was cheapest, companies and governments now put security and reliability first. Tariffs, export controls and subsidies push factories back home or to allied countries, and new plants for chips, batteries and industrial goods get built in the West.
Building that capacity takes steel, aggregates and heavy equipment, contractors to install electrical and mechanical systems, and railroads, trucking and distributors to supply the new plants. Domestic producers protected by tariffs gain market share at home.
Under pressure are companies whose products are made almost entirely in Asia through long, low-cost supply chains — much of footwear, apparel and consumer electronics — and businesses that depend on markets now behind trade barriers. Merely having global sales is neutral.
How StockDashes scores your portfolio against it
Worldview fit is a 0–100 score for how well a stock portfolio matches an investor’s view of where the world is heading.
Each holding in your portfolio is marked against the worldview as Benefits, Neutral, Mixed or Hurt, with a one-line reason. The marks are weighted by what each holding is worth: Benefits pushes the score up, Hurt pulls it down, and Neutral leaves it where it is; Mixed means two real forces pull in opposite directions, so it counts half each way and cancels out. A portfolio that is balanced, or mostly neutral, lands at 50; one where most of the value benefits scores high, and one where most of it is hurt scores low. With several worldviews, each is worked out the same way and the results are averaged. Worldview fit is 60% of your 0–100 portfolio score, next to diversification and volatility.
Worldview fit measures how well your holdings match your view. It doesn’t say whether the view is right or whether the stocks are good value.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a tool that checks whether my portfolio fits my view of where the world is heading?
Yes. StockDashes lets you choose up to 4 worldviews — such as reshoring — or write your own, and marks every holding in your portfolio as benefiting from, hurt by, neutral to or mixed on each one. The result is your worldview fit: a 0–100 score with a one-line reason for every holding.
How do I know if my portfolio is positioned for reshoring?
Import your portfolio into StockDashes and choose reshoring as one of your worldviews. You see what share of your portfolio’s value benefits from it, is hurt by it, is neutral or mixed, and which holdings sit on each side, each with a one-line reason.
What is worldview fit?
Worldview fit is a 0–100 score for how well a stock portfolio matches an investor’s view of where the world is heading. It is worked out from how each holding relates to the worldviews you choose, weighted by what each holding is worth, and it is 60% of the StockDashes portfolio score.
Which kinds of companies does reshoring benefit?
Domestic manufacturers, industrial and plant contractors, suppliers of steel, aggregates and heavy equipment, and the railroads, trucking networks and distributors that serve new factories at home.
Can I combine reshoring with other worldviews?
Yes. You keep up to 4 worldviews at a time, picked from the ten ready-made ones or written in your own words, and every holding is marked against each of them. Your worldview fit combines them all.
