About
A simple 65% stocks / 30% bonds / 5% commodities mix built to maximize return for the risk. US sectors (tech‑tilted) plus overseas stocks, high‑quality bonds, and a small commodity hedge. Set it and largely forget it; rebalance infrequently.
A fixed mix: ~65% in stocks (US sector funds like XLK=tech, XLV=health care, XLF=financials, plus EFA=developed overseas and EEM=emerging markets), 30% in bonds (IEF=US Treasuries 7–10yr, plus LQD=corporate, AGG=broad US, BWX=int’l gov’t), and 5% in commodities (DBC). No trading signals; rebalance only if weights drift a lot.
Out-of-sample, the 65/30/5 mix delivers higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P: Sharpe ~1.27 vs ~1.01, max drawdown ~11% vs ~18.8%, beta ~0.56. Diversified stock/bond/commodity exposure cushions downside while preserving upside.
