The enemy of the best is often the good.


I have these ETFs in my portfolio:


$TDIV (+0.04%)

$GGRP (+0.04%)

$FUSD (-0.1%)

$FGEQ (-0.06%)


Some, if not all, have outperformed the MSCI World at times.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment they are all about the same weighting and should be increased further. While I am trying to implement a growth strategy with equities, these ETFs are intended to generate passive income.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectively speaking, I would have to sell the $FUSD (-0.1%) as it further increases the US share and overlaps heavily with at least two of the other ETFs. In other words, it reduces diversification in all respects.

But on the other hand $FUSD (-0.1%) also the one with the best past return and will probably remain so in the future.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One approach could be to take the US weighting and overlaps into account in the ETF weighting of the portfolio and implement it as follows, for example:


$TDIV (+0.04%) 40%

$GGRP (+0.04%) 30%

$FGEQ (-0.06%) 15%

$FUSD (-0.1%) 15%


If the ETFs were weighted in this way, the following allocations would result:


Countries/Regions:

USA 56.4%

Canada 4.4%

Europe 33.2%

Asia 5.4%


Top 10 weighting:

$MSFT (-0.03%) 3%

$AAPL (+0.05%) 3%

$VZ (+0.04%) 2,3%

$CVX (+0.15%) 2,1%

$ROG (+0%) 2%

$NVDA (+0.07%) 1,9%

$PFE (+0.04%) 1,7%

$HSBA (+0%) 1,6%

$IBM (+0.56%) 1,4%

$AVGO (+0.26%) 1,4%


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think of this allocation example? Do you have any suggestions for improvement or comments?

$GGRP or $FGEQ. Liquidate the remainder and invest in the selected ETF.

Your whole depot and your post scream out loud: "Hindsight Bias!"

Time for real diversification.

Is Japan included in Asia? Then I would find the share too low.

I would play around with backtests as much as possible. Curvo, for example, has optimization tools. The only problem is that some etfs do not allow such wide backtests.
