Peter: I think you're just better off using those international factor funds that are now available in ETF form. EDV also does tend to perform like a leveraged version of VGLT or TLT, and it's about 1.5 to 1. The other kit on that block is a fund called GOVZ that you may want to take a look at, but I'm less familiar with that one. All in all this looks like a pretty decent and very interesting portfolio that you've created.
