How the portfolio is built
In a classic portfolio, equities carry most of the risk even when they make up only half of the money invested. The mandate spreads risk across asset classes that react differently to the same economic conditions: government bonds, inflation-linked bonds, gold and commodities, equities.
The aim is steady progress over several years, with limited declines.
- Bonds 69.75%
- Gold and commodities 21.25%
- Equities 9%
The six holdings
- US fixed-rate government bondsBenefit from weak growth or falling inflation
- 38%
- US floating-rate government bondsTrack short-term rates, little sensitivity to rate rises
- 21%
- US inflation-linked government bondsIndexed to inflation, useful when it runs high
- 10.75%
- Commodities — energyBenefit from high inflation or strong growth
- 10.75%
- GoldBenefits from high inflation and periods of uncertainty
- 10.5%
- EquitiesBenefit from strong growth
- 9%
Each holding is a listed, liquid, low-cost ETF held directly in your account. The allocation is reviewed every month.
Capital allocation, not risk allocation. It changes with rebalancing. No holding protects in every case.

Risks
Invested capital is not guaranteed.
- Capital
- Not guaranteed. The value of the portfolio can go down as well as up.
- Diversification
- It spreads the sources of risk; it removes neither fluctuations nor losses. A simultaneous rise in real interest rates weighs on several asset classes at once.
- Exposures
- Markets, interest rates, ETF liquidity, and exchange-rate risk on the dollar depending on your reference currency.
- Exit
- Possible at any time, but an early exit may take place in unfavourable conditions.
