Episode notes

UPAR and its sister fund, R-P-A-R, are both classic risk parity style portfolios in the form of ETFs. They look in allocation kind of like the all seasons portfolio, that sample portfolio. If you're looking for a one-stop shop, this is a decent option for the price. But if you really want to have something in a portfolio that has been proven to do well in times of inflation, you would look to things like managed futures and commodities themselves.

In this episode we answer emails from Drew, Carlos and Eric. We discuss the UPAR and RPAR risk parity ETFs and their construction, rant a bit about TIPS, discuss attractive narratives about de-dollarization in the context of cognitive biases (the possibility effect and ignoring base rates) and how our adult children use a Golden Ratio-style portfolio to save for intermediate goals.
