About
Daily rebalanced four-asset US equity portfolio: 20% BRK/B, 20% VOO, 30% QQQM, 30% SCHG. Pure, rules-based allocation aiming for growth exposure with Berkshire quality ballast; balanced, yet tech-heavy, large-cap tilt.
Plain-language description of the decision process:
- You own four assets: Berkshire B (20%), VOO (20%), QQQM (30%), SCHG (30%).
- Every day, the system checks how much of the total portfolio each asset currently represents.
- If any asset’s share deviates from its target, the system buys or sells to bring the weights back to 20%, 20%, 30%, and 30% respectively.
- This is a rules-based approach with no additional market signals or indicators; it simply enforces the specified mix.
- Stocks involved: Berkshire B is a large, diversified company; VOO tracks the broad S&P 500; QQQM focuses on large tech-heavy NASDAQ-100 names; SCHG focuses on growth-oriented large-cap stocks.
- The goal is steady, growth-oriented exposure to U.S. equities with automatic maintenance of the exact mix.
- Practical notes: because the weights are fixed, the portfolio is always fully invested unless you explicitly set cash aside elsewhere; costs and taxes may matter with daily trades.
Out-of-sample: Sharpe 1.79, Calmar 4.54, max DD 4.64%, beta 0.98. Berkshire ballast with growth tilt and daily rebalancing aims for smoother, resilient upside versus SPY, not just raw return.
