Spring comes to Oregon.
Kepler is nearly in balance with the simplified asset allocation model. The asset allocation is very close to the Bogle Three ETF model. Instead of bonds I am using SCHD and SHV. In place of international equities I am using SCHG for a bit more growth. Another change is the percentage invested in each asset class. That information is included in the following tables.
Kepler Asset Allocation Holdings
In the following asset allocation the Kepler is below target for VOO and above target for SHV. When VOO is recommended for purchase (see next screenshot) I will sell shares of SHV and purchase more shares of VOO.

Kepler Rebalancing Recommendations
With next to zero cash available I am standing pat with the current allocations. If and when new cash arrives or more dividends show up, I will add shares to the current VOO holdings. Right now I am in no hurry to purchase more equities based on the threat of more tariffs. The market is facing multiple fronts of uncertainty and markets don’t perform well in this type of environment.

Kepler Performance Data
Since 12/31/2021 the Kepler has been a less than stellar performer. The hope is for the new asset allocation model will close the gap on the AOR benchmark.

Kepler Risk Ratios
March vs February data is encouraging as each of the four risk measurements improved slightly. The two most critical measurements, Jensen and Information ratios, also improved significantly since March of 2024.

If possible hold on to shares while building up cash. If the country holds the markets will rebound.
