Over the years we have described a number of systems for portfolio construction and management that might be considered by anyone interested in spending a little time to manage their own money. These vary from very simple “Buy-and-Hold” portfolios, with fixed allocations – where risk is impacted by the level of diversity and correlation between […]
Closed End Funds (CEFs): 19 May 2025
Have you been following the Hawking Portfolio? If not, you may want to give a close looking to this unique approach to investing. If income is of interest then investing in Closed End Funds (CEFs) is definitely an option. Before launching into this management model I highly recommend investors first read Steven Bavaria’s book, The […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025
It was a strong week in the US equity markets with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) closing the week a little over 5% higher than last week’s close:
Schrodinger Portfolio Review: 16 May 2025
Since the last review Schwab made a number of changes in the Schrodinger. It is rare for such changes. I suspect Schwab performed some tax harvesting. One change was to add a municipal bond ETF, SCMB. The percentage is so small it will not have much impact on the overall performance. Schrodinger Security Holdings Below […]
Huygens Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025
Huygens is one of two portfolios using an expanded Asset Allocation (AA) management model. The other is the computer managed Schrodinger or Schwab’s Intelligent Portfolio. Over the past month the Huygens lost a bit of ground to its benchmark, the AOR security. Most likely the AOR is tilted a tad more toward equity holdings whereas […]
Carson Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 13 May 2025
Today’s market brings us closer to closing the equity losses from early April. As one of the Sector BPI portfolios, the Carson experienced only minor losses in April. Several sectors are currently in the overbought zone and as a result, Trailing Stop Loss Orders (TSLOs) are in place to lock in profits. It is difficult […]
Hawking Portfolio Review: 11 May, 2025
The Hawking “Income” Portfolio does not require an excess level of attention to manage – it is simply a matter of re-investing dividends/distributions as they become available. With the pullback in prices since the last review in January it has been possible to pick up new shares at lower prices that should help going forward […]
Rutherford-Darwin Portfolio Review: 9 May 2025
It was a quieter week in the US equity markets with the SPX closing slightly lower (~-0.4%) than last week’s close:
Einstein Portfolio Review: 8 May 2025
The Einstein portfolio is a recent entry into the Asset Allocation management model. The shift was made to improve performance as this has been a struggling portfolio. One major problem with the Einstein is that monies were withdrawn for educational purposes and these withdrawals occurred at times that definitely stunted growth. Those withdrawal days are […]
Franklin Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 8 May 2025
Franklin is one of three portfolios using the Sector BPI management model. The other two are: Carson and McClintock. The Sector BPI model is not designed for all investors as it requires some tracking and a bit of effort. If looking for simplicity, check out the Schrodinger and Copernicus portfolios. With the sector model we […]
