Linked below are the latest Morningstar® Investment Detail Reports for the Portfolio Shield™ family.
Portfolio Shield™ slightly increased its allocation to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds across all models for August.
Due to the very slight change to the allocation, many accounts did not change their holdings from last month.
As a reminder, all strategies are rebalanced on the first trading day of each month and at that time, any new monies are invested according to the model strategy you are in.
For those who want to change between strategies, changes will occur on the first trading day of each month.
Due to the increase in smaller balance accounts, lower-priced ETFs have been added to the models to substitute the primary Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) for those who don’t have a large enough account balance to hold the full model of ETFs. Small balance accounts may not have every position in the strategy due to price limitations of the securities in the allocation since ETFs are only traded in full share increments.
If you have any questions or would like to change the Portfolio Shield™ strategy you are invested in, please let me know.
Thank you,
Steven Van Metre, CFP®
