Tentative Asset Allocation Model

March 30, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Asset Allocation is a popular investing model when it comes to constructing a portfolio.  What asset classes to include and what percentage of each asset is open for debate and discussion.  In the follow example, titled ITA-AA, I’ve selected ten asset classes that come from two sources, Mebane Faber and David Swensen.  As readers can […]

Pauling II Update: 1 April 2024

April 1, 2024 By Lowell Herr

This interim update is to clue readers in on a few changes I made in the investment quiver and where the portfolio is after one day of trading.  Numerous limit orders are still in place to purchase more shares for nearly all the asset classes. One not so obvious change is the weighting given to […]

Huygens Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 10 April 2024

April 10, 2024 By Lowell Herr

Welcome to the revised version of the Huygens Asset Allocation portfolio.  There is a possibility the management of this portfolio will be taken over by its owner.  To make the portfolio easier to manage I’ve set up an Asset Allocation model, quite similar to the Pauling II (soon to go back to the original name, […]

Pauling Update: 24 April 2024

April 24, 2024 By Lowell Herr

When I first began setting up this Asset Allocation portfolio I called it Pauling II.  Now that the account is nearly established or fully populated I’m reverting back to the original name, Pauling. The philosophy behind this portfolio is to build a retirement account using tried and true diversification methods.  The Pauling is diversified across […]

Pauling Asset Allocation Portfolio in Review: 2 May 2024

May 2, 2024 By Lowell Herr

After a few weeks since launch the Pauling is beginning to settle down into the Asset Allocation plan as envisioned.  As with most portfolios I anticipate some additional evolutionary adjustments over the next year will occur.  A few assets from the old model are currently oversubscribed or carry a higher percentage of the portfolio than […]
