Asset location

Post by vnatale » Wed May 17, 2023 2:44 pm

Great information here on Asset Allocation considerations. Quite relevant to this forum as in implementing The Permanent Portfolio one must decide where each of the four assets should be -- taxable or non-taxable. Then for non-taxable, traditional or Roth?

I believe that Xan has stated that he invests the same 4 X 25% in both taxable and non-taxable?

I follow Ben Felix's advice that it's likely best (and certainly simplest) to just have your asset allocation be the same in all accounts regardless of whether tax advantaged or not.
I still find the James Rickards portfolio fascinating.

Who is Ben Felix? Not someone I recognize from this forum. I do seem to recall reading a few times that that was Xan's philosophy. Or, I may be mixing that up with another fixed philosophy that Xan has.

Ben Felix has what I think is by far and away the best finance podcast on the internet. Period. O0

With that type of recommendation, I may have to put his podcast in competition for time with listening to Lex Fridman podcasts (which I have gotten far behind in listening). With Lex even though I have no interest in the topic somehow he makes them interesting. The last one I listened to was all about grappling: B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan | Lex Fridman Podcast #363.

He has a recent interview with a researcher named David Blanchett that I really enjoyed. Highly recommended!
