  1. USMV 12%
  2. VDC  8%
  3. VHT  6%
  4. VPU  4%
  5. IEF  12%
  6. VGIT  8%
  7. LQD   7%
  8. SCHP  8% 
  9. VNQ  6%
  10. JEPI   6% 
  11. BNDX  3%
  12. GLDM  6%
  13. DBC   4%
  14. SGOV  10%

One change I might make is to do something with the 4% for DBC and I don't like messing with commodities when it comes tax time.
