Golden Butterfly

Portfolio Specification

Portfolio Description

The Golden Butterfly portfolio is based on the construction shown over at Risk Parity Chronicles as part of their suite of test portfolios. It’s intended as a portfolio that can keep up with a classic 60-40 portfolio at a fraction of the risk. The five-asset equal-weight construction makes this an approachable, low-maintenance portfolio for the masses.

It’s worth noting the U.S. and small-cap biased equity allocation may drive tracking error against a global market cap benchmark.
