The Intelligent Asset Allocator Portfolio Built with ETFs

By Sun

The fourth segment of the Model Portfolios Built with ETFs series, is making an appearance at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity as a guest article. In this part, I discussed how to build an all-ETF portfolio based on a model in the book, The Intelligent Asset Allocator by William Bernstein, that consists of, among other asset classes, 10% precious metals, which have never been touched in previous discussions.

The following is a list of possible precious metal ETFs for the portfolio.

streetTRACKS Gold Shares (GLD)
iShares COMEX Gold Trust (IAU)
PowerShares DB Gold (DGL)
Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX)
PowerShares DB Precious Metals (DBP)
PowerShares DB Silver (DBS)
iShares Silver Trust (SLV)
