Weatherproof

Built to lose less when shares fall rather than to win when they rise: a third in shares, the rest in long treasuries, corporate bonds and gold. The idea Bridgewater made famous, at index-fund prices.

Measured on total returns — closes restated for dividends and coupons — because a bond fund pays most of its return out as cash, and on price alone the same holding reads as a loss. Quarterly rebalancing, which is not what a live portfolio here does: those rebalance when a holding drifts past its band, so a real one will not track this exactly. Past returns are what these weights did through the years on file, not a forecast, and the chart starts where every fund in it had a price.

Start one

Opens a paper portfolio of your own that tracks this. The next run buys the holdings, and every run after keeps them level — so a company that drops out of the ranking drops out of your portfolio.

Already have a portfolio? You can add this to it from your own portfolio page instead, and it will share the balance with whatever else is in there.
