Happy Halloween experts!
Just for entertainment purposes only and to maybe provide for good debate and ideas to the class going forward...provide your best 5 fund portfolio, minimum of 8% return, minimum drawdown to be held for the next 12-36 months...
I'll start, FWIW and again, for entertainment purposes only.
VLSIX KAR Long/Short, 15%
TMSRX, T Rowe Price Mult Strat Total Return, 5%
IQDAX, Q Infinity, 30%
ARBIX, Absolute Convertible Arbitrage, 10%
BIL, ETF, 1-3 Month TBills, 40%
Ideas/Thoughts....what say you experts, c'mon FD1K, whatda got?

VLSIX is the one that limits it.
But I can do even better with BIL=40% + IQDAX=30% + VLSIX=30% and make 12.6% + SD=3.55(still low)
It's an annual event where the participants post their monthly portfolios and YTD total returns. This includes the timely posting of any changes they made to their portfolios. Rich then summarizes the monthly results and the end of year final totals.
As Rich states, "Participants can join at the start of any month [...] Just post your beginning portfolio for the month of November. Some members are retired with conservative portfolios and others more aggressive. Others are in the accumulating phase. Portfolio does not have to match a real portfolio but perhaps test ideas. Not truly a contest since we have different goals with our test portfolios. Also I have some indexes in the results to measure against."
It is, in a way, a good vehicle "Just for entertainment purposes only and to maybe provide for good debate and ideas". Try it, you might like it.
Good luck,
Fred
