Hi Toofuzzy

I take issue with your love of 80/20 Aim

It depends upon how you structure your AIM's.

If broadly you want to be 60/40 ... perhaps as indicated by vWave or whatever, then put 40% in 'cash' and then pick whichever ETF's you prefer (snow shovel, rain mac, sun cream ... type diversification ... and ETF's/funds for their greater resilience to total failure/loss) and allocate 60% in total collectively to them, applying 80/20 AIM to each ... so 12% in total additional cash on top of the 40% already put aside (grand total 52% cash).

Then as vWave varies you might look to add or reduce positions in reflection of that broader market advisory exposure indicator ... capturing the broader market fluctuations in a somewhat collective AIM manner. Whilst also lowering the volatility of each holding via 80/20 AIM instead of 100% (and tending to achieve the same reward as though you'd been 100%).
