Swedish bonds is a pain. All the bond funds are managed and the duration is short. I hate to complicate things but maybe a split between AMF lang and TLT could be a solution. If you keep 75% AMF and 25% it might be enough to create a decent tail response to long interest rates without large currency...

Also not to happy having a enormous mortgage considering real estate and equity is highly correlated.

At least we will burn together. If hell breaks loose we could create our own "Swedish house market" screamroom!

It pretty much becomes a typical Bogleheads portfolio. Either with PP or Bogleheads you'll do fine. Yeah, ambitious is probably a good word...

I should probably have stated this in the first entry. I'm looking to "retire" early, around 45 years of age. Right now I'm 29 years and saving around 50% of my income. It will increase beyond that this fall because of a downsize. This will mean that from 45 years of age I will try to use ...

What I need help with is figuring out how to set up a portfolio for an inves...
