About
A steady 60/30/10 mix designed for the best return per unit of risk: broad US and global stocks, a balanced ladder of Treasuries (incl. TIPS), and diversifiers (mainly US dollar, plus gold and real estate), rebalanced only when weights drift widely.
- Put 60% in stocks, 30% in US government bonds, 10% in diversifiers (US dollar, gold, real estate, infrastructure).
- US stocks are split by sector (tech, health care, financials, etc.); foreign stocks are split into developed and emerging markets.
- Bonds mix short-, medium-, long-term Treasuries plus inflation-protected bonds for balance.
- Diversifiers: mostly a long US dollar position, a small gold slice, and small real-estate/infrastructure slices.
- No set rebalance schedule; only rebalance if weights drift a lot (about one-third) from targets.
Superior risk-adjusted resilience: out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.17 vs SPY ~1.01, Calmar ~1.12, max drawdown 10.8% vs 18.8%. Lower beta (~0.56) and a diversified 60/30/10 mix aim for steadier, durable growth vs the S&P 500.
