Golden Butterfly

Specification

Benchmark
Simple 60/40

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.
