Episode notes

Risk Parity Radio is a podcast that explores alternatives and asset allocations for the do-it-yourself investor. Frank Vasquez: Today on Risk Parity Radio, it is time for our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at www.riskparityradio.com. And just to give you a preview of that, fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling. 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

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.
