TheLiveBigWay* Digest – Toward a Truly Global Portfolio

In this edition of the Digest, we discuss a portfolio strategy update, the financial planning award Dave was recently honored with, and an announcement regarding our upcoming client event.

Moving to a “Geographically-Neutral” Allocation
You’ve often heard us say that it makes sense to be “geographically-neutral,” that there is no systematic return associated with geographic allocation. One exception in recent years has been an extreme under-weighting of so-called Emerging Markets, which for some time represented less than a tenth of their true market weight in our portfolios.  We moved to shift that balance in January (The Case for Emerging Markets) and are about to make a further shift toward emerging markets that will complete this transition to a geographically-neutral allocation.

And the Heart of Financial Planning Award goes to….Dave Yeske!
Dave was recently awarded the Heart of Financial Planning Award by the Financial Planning Association® (FPA®) at their annual conference this past weekend in San Antonio, TX.
