PFIX: The Most Volatile of the Three

In this episode we answer two emails from Alexi (a/k/a the "Dude") and another from Barry.  We discuss funds that are designed to take advantage of rising interest rates like RRH, RISR and PFIX, another Dude-constructed accumulation portfolio with leveraged funds and some portfolio construction rules of thumb, and the noisy-ness of correlation data and matrices.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
