I am also a friend of the 70/30 method. It's ideal for people who don't want to deal with it all the time. But I also use gold. So shares 60%, bonds 25% and 15% gold. Three stocks are enough:
$VWRL, $VECP and $4GLD

I use the distributing variants, the dividends can then be used for rebalancing

@Bein-Godik Thank you !
And are you doing well with the strategy?
Do you mean you divide the dividends between the 3 positions?

@alschaeub The strategy yields around 10% per year. You can easily test this here with a backtest in a new portfolio. The dips are significantly reduced, which is what you want to achieve. The reduced risk comes at the price of lower returns.

If the 60/25/15 ratio has changed significantly, you should rebalance in order to restore the ratio. This should be done once a year and, if possible, through additional purchases using the dividend

@Bein-Godik okay sounds good, but 10% a year is a lot

@alschaeub Of course, this is also driven by the good performance of gold in recent years. Gold is actually here to dampen the setbacks

@Bein-Godik why corporate bonds? to diversity would be better go with government bond. to drop one more transaction one could buy vanguard lifestrategy and gold

@giolarochelle993 I prefer to determine the time of rebalancing myself. Fixed dates are bad as I don't rebalance in phases of rising shares.

Which government bond do you recommend?

@Bein-Godik there are many, split between euro and us and with short and long duration.
There are even mixed etf abailable (global bonds)
