@WhiteElephant: If that's concerning local taxes, we have a fixed capital gains tax on everything so that does not affect me.
@stuper1: Thanks, good catch! I've changed that to iShares Treasure 20+ (TLT).
I've also added C3M (Amundi short-term bonds EUR) and SHV (iShares short treasury bonds USD) for cash allocation.
what if one day 3 USD = 1 EUR ? (changed)
Do you think USPP will do better than EUPP ? Why?

In that highly unlikely event, I would lose ~14% of the portfolio (but I'm sure the EU part would grow that much more as a consequence). I don't see any of those two extremes happening. That said, if I would have to bet on likelihood, I'd say it's far higher for the EUR to get devalued against the USD than vice-versa.

Re: Permanent Portfolio in Europe (follow-up)
I've been happy with CSEMU for stocks and DBXG for bonds plus cash and physical gold.
I also added a large portion of variable portfolio to just VWCE/VWRA for global stocks.

Re: Permanent Portfolio in Europe (follow-up)
For the European PP using SXR7 and SXRJ for the stock piece . Piece of DBXG and (mostly) DBZB for the bonds. There are evidences that global bonds (as DBZB) may benefit EU investor for various reasons. See for example nice article from Vanguard.
