On my paid sites, JugglingWithKnives.com and JubakAM.com I run and track a simple five ETF portfolio called, immodestly the Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio.
In the last week, I’ve made the following shifts:
Increasing my allocation to 25% in the Goldshares SPDR ETF (GLD)
Increasing my allocation to 25% in the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU)
Cutting my allocation to 15% in the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM)
Cutting my allocation to 10% in the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)
Switching to the Invesco Currency Shares Japan Yen ETF (FXY) from the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) with the allocation kept at 25%.
Just thought you’d like to know what I was thinking in terms of positioning ETFs and an index portfolio for a bear market.
If you’d like to follow these moves in real time, please subscribe to either my JugglingWithKnives.com site ($79 a year) or my JubakAm.com site ($199 a year although I recently sent you an email offer for 20% off or just $159 for the first year’s subscription.)
