Taxable Account

Post by BugMan »

I want to set a permanent portfolio for my taxable account monies. I have zero room for any of these holdings in my tax deferred and tax exempt accounts. So my choices are the 4 x 25 or PRPFX. Because of the tax issue with the bonds and gold in the 4 x 25 I was leaning towards using PRPFX. I realize the shortcomings of the retail mutual fund (active manager, higher fees, etc.) but its low yearly distributions are a great plus in a taxable account. Any advice would be appreciated. Anyone else in this situation? What did you choose and why? Thanks.  ;D

Do 90% PRPFX and 10% EDV.  Rebalance annually.  Don't look back.

This is a very safe, simple and tax efficient strategy.
