looks good

Because SRVY hasn't been around for more than 2-1/2 years - and has averaged about a 4% loss per year - I dropped it from this portfolio and analyzed the remaining 10 securities.

With 4 years, 2 months of data the rest of the portfolio looks quite good. The average correlation of monthly returns is +15%; that's exceptionally good. Over that time only SNS has failed to provide any useful diversification. Whether the specific mix of securities is particularly good I cannot say because I don't know the relative weights; suffice it to say that, if they get the mix right, this could be a very good portfolio.
