Hey there.
I just finished reading the Bogleheads Guide to Retirement and the Four Pillars of investing. Both good books. DH and I are building an investing policy statement (good times...) and I'm looking at all the sample "lazy portfolios" out there.
Some are very simple, like the Couch Potato portfolio ala Scott Burns.
Others have 10-15 funds breaking it down further by market cap size and adding in some sectors, but still using indexes.
I don't think the 15 fund portfolios are confusing, but the simpler ones have a certain level of attraction. Managing 3 funds is easier than tracking 15.
I'm wondering if a few of you would be willing to share how finely you decided to slice your pie, and why you made the choice you did.
Thanks in advance.
