Thoughts on asset allocation / recommendations for improvements? House savings is essentially ~3-5y savings. Didn’t include tickers but plan to choose an Etf for each, both active & passive

What’s the investment horizon? How old is the client? US? International?

If you’re planning on saving for a house I’d be more conservative as you show to be, however, would initially start client off at a lower % and work my way up taking into account market conditions. You don’t wanna lose money here. You want less volatility and I expect funds to continue to come in with a slight growth/capital preservation investment objective, hence 30% equities as a max. Not sure it is the moment to go all 30% right now.

In regards to the long term savings, I’d do a 60/40 or 40/60 Equity/FI and work my way up on a market with higher upside potential (nearly capped bullish market right now). This all depends on client’s info (Age, horizon, Risk tolerance, etc). If client is on his early 30s I’d go all the way up to 80% or 100% equities depending on market conditions. Definitely maybe not now but for sure after Pullback/correction and then just sit tight and enjoy the wild ride for 20-30 years.

Just one last thing. Always stay invested but don’t be scared to sit a % in cash. Hope it helps.

Thanks all very helpful.. I’m 28 in nyc, no debt and had to reallocate my savings after having to sell old holdings for new job so have 140k to allocate. Was planning to dollar cost avg over 4-6 months. Agree on your comments though I could be more conservative given current valuations and potential for more rate cuts enhancing FI slices

Which funds are you picking ? I’d do over your house savings

And why all ETF? Don’t you want some mutual funds ?

Why would anyone want mutual funds?

Mainly for the usual points.. cost, liquidity, tax efficient, transparency. Would there be any reason to use mutual funds? Funds I’m using are a mix of ishares for passive and then smart beta for the “active” sleeves

It’s a hassle to lift it up change the tiles and fixtures and put it back. It’s old but works great. Remodeling ppl recommend get rid of it, give space to buyers if they want to buy standalone tub. I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
