Ultimately a good investment portfolio is one that achieves your financial goals but it is easy to lose sight of what you are doing and accidentally end up with something that is not fit for purpose. In this video, I will show you what I consider when looking at a portfolio, so you can go through this process and review whether you are still on track.

Great content as usual. We have healthy pensions so only invest in global stocks and keep enough money in premium bonds to cover us for at least a three year market crash. Over the last two years we had some decent premium bond pay outs but would never suggest they are a good place to use as an investment, just a good place to hide money from the tax man. I'm not convinced that bonds are a place to invest as it seems to be the reserve of nervous people. Likewise commodities.

You are amazing Ramin. Im trying to learn the basic priciples doing your into modules and reading your book the Financial Bestiary ; and following your youtube videos - soon I will join Pensioncraft as a member when im a little more knowledgeable and confident. The problem is im 71 and now retired with very little financial or investment knowledge - and as you know better than most this is a complex area - still a global index passive fund via Vanguard looks a possibilty for me. I just need to devote more time to study. Thanks for all you do

There are so many off the shelf portfolios to choose from, and if you dig deep enough the data to help with choosing makes it easier. I agree that education is key. I have choose Royal London GP4 at the start of retirement (a slightly higher risk), and taken a TFLS and put in an ISA and savings to use if stocks enter a period of negative performance.

On your cladogram you say, for instance, PFE,CVX,AAPL,BAC move together, are correlated. In fact their correlations, from May 2006, are: PFE with CVX, APPL, BAC respectively: 0.3, 0.2, 0.0. etc. So low correlations.

Hi Ramin, the comparison of the Vanguard Lifestrategy funds is interesting - all the graphs seem to track one another, albeit at different levels of return. Is this to be expected when one fund is 80% bonds and at the other end of the scale 100% shares/0% bonds? All the peaks and troughs seem to align, and the only thing the bond element seems to do is reduce overall returns, not really moderate the risks? Am I missing something fundamental? Thanks Ramin.

@b-m-c Ай бұрын

When do you plan to mix your 100% core portfolio up with some bonds or MMFs? I am 10 years from my planned retirement and 100% global Index trying to cook the pot up but wondering when is right to pour some 'non crashy' stuff in. When do you reckon?!

I've committed to creating three portfolios. One for myself and my living needs, one for my family (spouse, future children, etc.), and one to fund my work. Naturally, I take the most risk with my own portfolio, less risk with my work portfolio, and even less yet with my family portfolio. I'm a very risk tolerant person in my own life, so I feel comfortable enough investing in industries I know more about with some ETFs as insurance. My work projects are already risky enough as is, so I think my work fund should be a little less risky, so broader ETFs are just fine for me here. But when it comes to securing my family's future, I think I ought to play it even safer, because this money is not meant for me, but for my family, and I need to take more care when it comes to those investments, so I leave it all in a total market fund and call it good.

@johnristheanswer Ай бұрын

Invest your family allowance from day one for your kids. We did that 27 years ago. Built a huge fund for them essentially for free. Can take a lot of risk too as lots of time and it's more or less a free 18 year bet.

With of the market cap weighted eft being heavily weighted by a few large companies, do you think it makes sense to go for an equal weighted etf? And in particular, would you say there is more importance to this topic for an S&P 500 etf?

@TheSamantha70 Ай бұрын

Hi Ramin, i started investing in VLS60 for 10+ years, in January 2022. It seemed right for my risk profile as a retiree'. However, i paused in february 2023 as i lost my nerve slightly and read about the negative news regarding bonds. I then plumped £10k into a 1 yr fixed cash isa. When the cash isa matured i found that VLS60 had increased by +10%. I realise its probably a beginners mistake. But should i just return into the VLS60 now that the price is c.11% higher than when i paused? I'm wary of spoiling any decent work VLS 60 has done regarding personal rate of return. I have also received a small inheritance. Maybe for 10 years i could possibly go full 100% equities? I have a dc pension and various fixed/easy access cash accounts. Thanks!

You might depending upon circumstances, eg you are close to retirement with several pension pots and if you wish to combine in say a sipp or arrange drawdown then your pension companies depending again upon the values and policy rules may require you to use a financial planner in the UK.

Stocks are very different among each other, the more I learn, the more I find its incorrect to bundle them all together under one asset class umbrella like that - sector and region matters GREATLY there, they do not all go in sync, Energy would often go against Tech. Consumer staples holds fairly well in high inflation environments with higher interest rate, while Tech/Consumer discretionary goes way down in that situation. Same goes for bonds, different duration - huge difference. Emerging bonds have basicly been like stocks, they play a region diversification role mostly. Corporate bonds go down during market crashes a la Covid, but long-term duration bonds go way up in that scenario. I could go on and on and on.

@thetjt Ай бұрын

Good post. I had not even heard of emerging market bonds... but indeed, I checked, they *do* follow the stock market. If same with corporate bonds, I might forget they exist as well. I've been recently considering buying LONG duration bond funds for diversification... then again if inflation starts rising again they will go down with stocks so there's that... Gold is also interesting but I think it's currently probably too expensive. Yet it would be nice to have some shiny coins like uncle Scrooge, not enough to swim in but still...

@MagicNash89 Ай бұрын

@@thetjt There are also different duration bonds in general, so 15-30yr crashed harshly last 3 years, but 7-10 - less so. In fact short duration bonds have even risen a bit, with a great dividend yield. Short and Ultrashort bonds is one of the few assets that holds up, doesnt crash, pays a better dividend during a "rising interest rates" environment, but is not a good place to be longterm. So there is TON of variety. Also long-term bond etf should recoup their losses in the long run when the underlying bonds in the fund mature and through dividend payements, provided nothing changes on the "credit risk" fo the government, it will take a while for 15-30yr ones, but as the old lower yield ones get mature, and new ones - higher yield ones, are bought, and maybe interest rates go down a bit in a few years raising the value of the current higher yield bonds, it looks like a good proposition for diversification.

If one has changed their mind on a fund in a SSIP, would you recommend selling it and then buying into a different one or just leave it and change the automatic investment into a preferred fund? My thinking is if you sell, and then buy into a different fund, you'll be buying in at a higher price

Good video, very professional. 👍 I think I have low risk capacity & moderate risk appetite. Portfolio has been building up on equity funds which are perhaps too volatile for my liking but were also relatively cheap. So it's probably not exactly the portfolio I'd feel comfortable with in the long run (too much China) but has imo good upside potential which is kinda the idea in investing. Anyways I have about half of the principal cash still, so there's potential to add some if/when opportunities rise. Will likely add some more bond funds in next couple weeks...
