|
|
|
|
Portfolio Changes For 1st Quarter 2007
|
|
As we move towards an emphasis on ETFs we cut back on the number of Mutual Funds on our List. While Managers Intermediate Duration (MGIDX), William Blair Income N (WBRRX), and DWS High Income Plus (MGHVX) are all good Bond funds, we are sticking with our top choices.
The same goes for stock funds Buffalo Mid Cap (BUFMX), Well Fargo Advantage Mid Cap (SMCDX), Aston/TAMRO Small Cap (NATASX), Excelsior Small Cap (UMLCX) and UMB Scout Small Cap (UMBHX). In addition, we replaced Marsico International Opportunity (MIOFX) with UMB Scout International (UMBWX) and Marsico Growth (MGRIX) with its younger brother Marsico 21st Century (MXXIX) as a Large Cap Growth choice. We also are bring back Third Avenue Real Estate Value (TAREX), which is again open to new investors, to replace Neuberger Berman Real Estate (NBRFX).
|
Asset Allocations For 1st Quarter 2007
|
|
Since the Fed has continued to leave interest rates alone, we’re moving 2% of our allocation from Intermediate Bonds to Large Cap Stocks in our Recommended Portfolio.
