Kepler CEF Portfolio Review: 28 July 2025

July 28, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Kepler is a portfolio in transition.  The move is from a growth portfolio to an income portfolio where the income is derived from Closed-End-Funds (CEFs).  In a recent blog post I requested readers submit CEF ideas, but to limit them to no more than five (5) at a time.  One recent recommendation (EIC) was added […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 24 June 2025

June 24, 2025 By Lowell Herr 2 Comments

Kepler is undergoing security changes as it has been under-performing for a long time.  The portfolio could wait until after the second quarter dividends are available, but I want to use this review as a reference to see how the different closed-end-funds (CEFs) perform before and after second quarter dividends.

Kepler Portfolio Review: 21 May 2025

Followers of the Kepler will note major changes in the portfolio makeup.  The latest asset allocation is income driven as I am using a number of Closed-End-Funds (CEFs) to augment VOO and SCHD.  For more information on CEFs check out the latest Hawking portfolio and this blog post.

Kepler Portfolio Review: 2 May 2025

May 2, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is another portfolio managed using the simplified Asset Allocation model.  As with similar portfolios, I am gravitating towards capital preservation based on date from the Buffett Indicator and Shiller PE Ratio.  Later this morning I will post additional information on these two ratios. Disclaimer:  Rather than investment advice as to what you should do, […]

Kepler Simplified Asset Allocation Portfolio: 31 March 2025

March 31, 2025 By Lowell Herr

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 […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 26 February 2025

February 26, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is a small struggling portfolio that was recently moved over to the Asset Allocation investing model.  The portfolio is beginning to come into balance as the ETFs are moving closer to the target percentages.  Most of the equity asset classes are above target.  Infusion of new cash and dividends will be used to build […]

Kepler Portfolio Review: 13 February 2025

February 13, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is the small portfolio up for review this morning.  The owner is rebuilding this portfolio as it looks like all educational expenses are in the rear view mirror.  As readers will see in the following update, this portfolio is finally coming into balance.  In other words, the various assets are closing in on the […]

Kepler Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 24 January 2025

January 25, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Kepler is a typical portfolio in that the investing model is based on the classic asset allocation model.  The Schrodinger is another asset allocation portfolio, although the securities used to populate the portfolio are different.  In addition, the percentages in the different asset classes also vary widely.  The asset allocation model is one promoted by […]
