Episode notes

Some stock funds were actually up last week, including small cab value, VIOV was up 1.24%. So to the extent people were trading on inflation or inflation fears, you can see those components, commodities and small cab value coming to the fore. Tips would have been no help to you last week. None. I think they were down 2.03% for the week. All in all, a very ugly week to start out 2022. But mama said there'd be weeks like this. And now our signal is beginning to fade. If you have comments for me, please send them to frank at riskperitor@aol.com. Or fill out the contact form below

In this episode we answer emails from Dan, Chas and Sam. We discuss some aspects of a new Risk Parity book, the poor performance and problems with TIPs, sub-portfolio constructions, using a correlation analysis to determine which non-U.S. funds to use, which bond funds to use, why you shouldn't pay attention to proposed legislation, more on international funds and how to find the podcast where your email is answered.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio. We also review the lackluster annual performances of RPAR and other professional risk-parity style funds. Note that RPAR is run by the author of the book discussed in answer to the first question.
