Bethe is a rather new Asset Allocation portfolio and as such has a long way to go before the various asset classes are in balance. Asset classes that are far above their target percentages are for sale while lower volatility asset classes such as BND, BNDX, and SHV are the dividend paying ETFs I am […]
Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Simplified: 14 March 2025
Bethe is undergoing a further simplification. This time narrowing the number of assets to five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and most likely down to four as VTI will eventually be sold out of the portfolio.
Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 16 April 2025
Bethe is a portfolio managed using a simplified version of the Asset Allocation (AA) model. It is much too early to know how this truncated AA model will work during volatile markets. As readers will see in a moment, I am holding a much larger percentage in a short-term treasury ETF (SHV) than normal as […]
Bethe Portfolio Review: 23 May 2025
Bethe is another portfolio using the truncated asset allocation model. A maximum of five Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are used to populate the Bethe.

Bethe Portfolio Review: 30 June 2025
Few changes took place within the Bethe portfolio since the last review. A few more shares of SHV were added as I am taking a conservative approach with this portfolio. I will most likely continue along these capital preservation lines until after the 2026 elections so patience is required.
Bethe Portfolio Update: 30 July 2025
Bethe is one of the “mini” asset allocation portfolios and one that needed rebalancing. This morning I sold a significant number of SHV shares making rebalancing possible. SCHD was most out of balance and I will explain below how I went about setting limit orders.
Bethe Portfolio Review: 25 August 2025
Bethe is another mini-asset allocation portfolio up for review. If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you know I am leaning more and more toward capital preservation. This interview with Howard Marks only tilts me further in this direction. Pay particular attention to the S&P 500 statistics around the 5:50 […]
Bethe Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 8 September 2025
Readers will note a few changes in the asset allocation for the Bethe. The expansion is in keeping with an equity oriented focus, but allows for a tad more diversity. Caution continues to make sense and that is why the large holding in short-term treasuries (SHV).
