As I currently am now in the distribution/withdrawal phase I have made some adjustments to my base portfolio - mainly giving it a bit more value twist (the EFA I had got changed into VTRIX one of my other holdings+VEIPX instead of the VTI+IJJ combo) and pursued lower e/r (The shift from EEM to VWO).
10% in each:
VEIPX (vanguard equity income fund)
BRSIX (bridgeway microcaps)
VTRIX (vanguard foreign value fund)
VWO (vanguard viper emerging markets)
VNQ (vanguard viper reits)
PCRIX (pimco commodities)
VGPMX (vanguard mining/metals)
TIP (US tips)
PFUIX (pimco developed bond market)
PEBIX (pimco em debt)
The portfolio pays around 3% in div/interest and my base budget require 2%. The e/r is below 0.5%.
Only action I foresee is re-balancing and maybe some foreign reits when decent vehicle for same available.
Any changes in your portfolios? Cheers!
