- Yahoo Finance session calendars for these holdings cover NYSEArca and NasdaqGM in America/New_York; all five returned the same 753 expected sessions. No forward filling is applied, and no missing observations were detected. Returned missing observations: 0.
- Calculated result
- Total return -2.92% · annualized return -0.99% · maximum drawdown -21.07%. Initial value 100,000 → ending value 97,078.06, in the same unconverted source-market units.
- Inputs and assumptions
- VTI 30.0% / TLT 40.0% / IEI 15.0% / GLD 7.5% / GSG 7.5%; yearly rebalance; SPY is a data-only reference, with no benchmark comparison shown; initial value 100,000. Annual fee overlay 0 bps; separate expense deduction 0%; inflation adjustment 0%; contributions and withdrawals 0 / 0; cash allocation and yield 0% / 0%; rebalance trading cost 0 bps. No additional cost rates are sourced or assumed; zero does not mean the funds have no expenses.
All expected sessions in this selected window were returned for both instruments. This does not make the window representative of other periods. No relative benchmark-performance claim is made here. Historical observations do not predict future results.
How to read this profile
Risk-balanced portfolio ideas were popularized through public writing about growth and inflation regimes. This ETF mix is a simplified implementation and is not the Bridgewater fund or any person’s personal holdings.
As an educational proxy, the allocation makes its growth and inflation regime assumptions and sleeve trade-offs visible; the attached result is limited to this mix and the observed 2022–2024 window.
Educational proxy allocation
- VTI — US equities: 30.0%
- TLT — Long-term US bonds: 40.0%
- IEI — Intermediate US bonds: 15.0%
- GLD — Gold: 7.5%
- GSG — Broad commodities: 7.5%
These liquid ETF proxies do not reproduce any person’s current holdings. Historical observations are not predictions.
Where it can struggle
Long-duration bonds can be hurt by rising rates, commodities and gold can lag for long stretches, and a diversified mix can trail a concentrated equity market in a sustained boom.
