About
A diversified real-asset mix to help against inflation and market shocks: small fixed slices of gold, real estate, and TIPS, with the rest in silver, broad commodities, oil, and timber sized by recent volatility. Rebalanced quarterly.
Owns real-asset ETFs: GLD=gold, VNQ=US real estate, TIP=inflation-linked Treasuries, SLV=silver, PDBC=broad commodities futures, DBO=oil, WOOD=timber/forestry stocks.
Fixed: 5% GLD, 15% VNQ, 10% TIP. The other 70% goes to SLV/PDBC/DBO/WOOD based on 60-day volatility—calmer gets more, jumpier less. Rebalanced quarterly.
Diversified real-asset strategy offers inflation protection and crisis resilience. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~0.65, max drawdown ~19.9% vs S&P ~22.1%, and low beta ~0.30—delivering steadier, risk-adjusted growth when stocks fall.
