if you were putting an all etf diversified mix together for a 60/40 proportion what would you use?........having followed a newsletter very successfully for 20 years im thinking of starting to put together an all etf diversified mix to start tracking that can hold a candle to my actively managed mix in performance but at a lower cost....i havent been able to hit a combo that can do it as far back as i could back test on my own so im looking for ideas......i would love to eventually cut my .89 average expense level down to 1/2 without sacraficing performance..since im 100% at fidelity i dont want to move to vanguard so id rather use etf's.....

heres my last 10 years

97 17.2
98 3.3
99 30.7

One can complicate things as much as wanted but a great starting ETF portfolio would be:
VTI+EFA+VWO for equities and AGG+TIP+GIM(foreign closed end unhedged bond fund) for bonds.
One can then consider adding the small cap/value twist.
You already own some commodities which I would add too. Cheers!
