Note on Tier I-A — Tactical Conviction: 31 equity names + 2 bond ETFs (SGOV / IEF 1.5% each = 3% sleeve; TIP retired to SGOV Sep 1 2026) + 0.5% SGOV settlement buffer. Diversification benefit plateaus at 25–30 names per Statman's concentration rule; beyond that you pay friction for marginal risk reduction. Hold a separate liquidity reserve outside this model for drawdown cash needs.
Investment Policy Statement
- Risk band: Tolerate −30% peak-to-trough drawdown (concentrated 100%-equity profile)
- Time horizon: 10+ years before required withdrawals
- Liquidity need: 0.5% SGOV settlement buffer; no other cash — hold liquidity reserve outside the model
- Return objective: S&P 500 + 3% annualized over 10 years
- Rebalancing trigger: Single-stock at ±0.75% deviation from target; sector deviation at 4% from target
- Excluded screens: None — open mandate. Custom screens available on request.
Tax Location Guidance
- Best fit: Roth IRA, Roth 403(b), HSA — tax-free compounding maximizes concentrated growth
- Acceptable: Traditional IRA / 401(k) — tax-deferred with ordinary-income withdrawal
- Avoid for high-bracket: Taxable brokerage — turnover at the 0.75% rebalance band creates short-term gains

Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +33.5% · 1-yr +34.2% · annualized since inception (2.5 yrs) +41.1%.Post-election destination — base case. This is the book the Midterm Election Dividend reserve rotates into after November 3 on the base path, held through the fall rather than traded around (see Defense Wins The Fall and the September Letter). It is the beta vehicle by design. Measured May 1 2024 – Sep 4 2026, monthly, against the S&P 500 Total Return: annualized +44.52% · standard deviation 15.35% · Sharpe 2.22 · Sortino 3.25 · maximum drawdown −21.50% · benchmark correlation 0.89. That drawdown is the price of admission to the twelve months after a midterm vote, which have been positive nineteen times out of nineteen since 1950. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Note on Tier IV-A — Tactical Conviction ($500K): 38 equity names + 2 bond ETFs (SGOV / IEF 1.5% each = 3% sleeve; TIP retired to SGOV Sep 1 2026) + 0.5% SGOV settlement buffer. Extends Tier III-A with five sector-breadth diversifiers (NEM, ABBV, DE, V, KO) at the upper edge of the the house concentration rule concentrated band. Hold a separate liquidity reserve outside this model for drawdown cash needs.
Investment Policy Statement
- Risk band: Tolerate −25% peak-to-trough drawdown (concentrated 100%-equity profile)
- Time horizon: 10+ years before required withdrawals
- Liquidity need: 0.5% SGOV settlement buffer; no other cash — hold liquidity reserve outside the model
- Return objective: S&P 500 + 3% annualized over 10 years
- Rebalancing trigger: Single-stock at ±0.75% deviation from target; sector deviation at 4% from target
- Excluded screens: None — open mandate. Custom screens available on request.
Tax Location Guidance
- Best fit: Roth IRA, Roth 403(b), HSA — tax-free compounding maximizes concentrated growth
- Acceptable: Traditional IRA / 401(k) — tax-deferred with ordinary-income withdrawal
- Avoid for high-bracket: Taxable brokerage — turnover at the 0.75% rebalance band creates short-term gains

Note on Tier I — Concentrated: Tier I stays 100% equity by design — this is the highest-conviction concentrated tier. Diversification benefit is captured by 25-30 names per Statman's concentration rule; beyond that you pay friction for marginal risk reduction. Holding a separate liquidity reserve outside this model is the recommended way to handle drawdown cash needs.
Investment Policy Statement
- Risk band: Tolerate -25% to -35% peak-to-trough; this is the highest-conviction tier
- Time horizon: 10+ years before required withdrawals
- Liquidity need: Low — concentrated growth book; pair with separate cash reserve outside the model
- Return objective: S&P 500 + 3-4% annualized over 10 years
- Rebalancing trigger: When any single sector deviates >5% from target, or any single stock crosses 5% cap
- Excluded screens: None — open mandate. Custom values screens available on request
Tax Location Guidance
- Best fit: Roth IRA, Roth 403(b), HSA — tax-free compounding maximizes highest-conviction growth
- Acceptable: Traditional IRA / 401(k) — tax-deferred with ordinary-income withdrawal
- Avoid for high-bracket: Taxable brokerage — momentum/turnover creates short-term capital gains

Capital Wealth North Star Faith-Based 50 · $50K · Screened Core
The North Star, run through the faith-based screen, at $50K: 34 names over a 10.0% sukuk reserve (SPSK), 1.59% trailing yield. Same sleeves and the same watch list as the North Star; every single stock passes the Musaffa (AAOIFI) screen and is not questionable on Zoya, funds are Shariah ETFs, and the weapons primes, banks, insurers and Treasury bills are out by construction.

Thesis — Diversified high-conviction income book. Jul 11: tobacco sleeve added (MO / PM) across the dividend books — the evidence: Jeremy Siegel’s study of the original 1957 S&P 500 found Philip Morris the single best performer through 2003 (+19.75%/yr vs +10.85%); high-yield staples with pricing power belong in an income mandate. 81 positions across dividend leaders, REITs, MLPs, and high-yield bonds. Built for clients prioritizing reliable income with measured equity participation. the house concentration rule sweet spot of 25–30 names is intentionally exceeded here because income diversification reduces single-issuer dividend-cut risk.

Capital Wealth AI & Compute Sleeve · Satellite
A composable satellite sleeve — the eight highest-conviction positions of the AI & Compute book, reweighted to stand alone. Sleeves are building blocks, not standalone plans: bolt one onto a core book inside a proposal to tilt a client toward a single theme without rebuilding the whole allocation. Derived mechanically from the parent book (top 8 by weight, renormalized) — the positions and theses are the house calls already published there. Portal-synced via slug sleeve_ai.

Capital Wealth Tax-Efficient · Diversified (Taxable)
Built for taxable accounts. Holdings chosen for low turnover, qualified-dividend tax treatment, ETF in-kind redemption (no embedded capital gains distributions), and tax-loss-harvesting flexibility. Excludes REITs, MLPs, and high-dividend names that throw off ordinary-income distributions. Designed to coordinate with a tax-deferred (IRA / 403b) sleeve where the high-yield names sit. Pairs with the wash-sale tracker on the rebalancing page. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +10.5% · 1-yr +13.5% · 5-yr annualized +10.8% · 2022 stress −14.9% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.

Tax-Efficiency Design Notes
- What sits here vs in the IRA: this Tax-Efficient model goes in the taxable brokerage. The high-yield names (energy partnerships KMI/ET/EPD/MPLX, REITs, high-dividend ETFs, junk-bond ETFs) live in the Roth IRA / Traditional IRA / 403(b) sleeve where ordinary-income distributions are sheltered.
- Wash-sale rule (IRS Section 1091): 30 days before AND after the sale (61-day window). Applies to “substantially identical” securities. The TLH-pair column lists the alternative ETF that maintains exposure without triggering wash-sale. Don't buy the same ticker in your IRA either — Rev Rul 2008-5 extended wash-sale rules across taxable+IRA accounts.
- Long-term capital gains: hold every position >1 year before harvesting gains to qualify for the 0% / 15% / 20% LTCG bracket vs ordinary income. Use specific-lot identification (FIFO is the worst tax outcome).
- Qualified dividends: ETFs in this model pass through qualified-dividend status (15-20% rate) rather than ordinary-income distributions. Avoid REITs and MLPs in this sleeve — they break QDI status.
- Rebalancing cadence: quarterly review. If a position has drifted >5% from target, rebalance. Always rebalance through new contributions or distributions before triggering taxable sales.
- Tax-loss-harvesting season: November-December for the year-end tax loss; March-October opportunistic on drawdown spikes >7%. The wash-sale tracker on the rebalancing page tells you when each position is eligible to repurchase.
Thesis — Diversified high-conviction book optimized for taxable brokerage accounts. Tilts toward qualified-dividend payers, low-turnover ETFs, and tax-managed funds. Avoids ordinary-income drag from REITs and energy MLPs.

Capital Wealth Tech & Quantum · Speculative
Aggressive-speculative sleeve for the moonshot bucket of a portfolio. Built around quantum computing pure-plays (IONQ, RGTI, QBTS, QUBT), AI infrastructure leaders, autonomous + counter-drone (AVAV), rare earth (MP), space (RKLB), and the highest-conviction Mag7. Position-sized small per name (1.5–4%) because individual outcomes range from 10x to zero. Suitable only for accounts where the client can tolerate a 50%+ drawdown on this sleeve without affecting their lifestyle. Sleeve sized at 5–15% of total household assets — never the whole portfolio. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +26.5% · 1-yr +18.6% · annualized since inception (2.5 yrs) +72.5%.

Risk & Sizing Notes
- This is a speculative sleeve, not a core book. Hold this alongside Tier I/II/III/IV — never as the only book. Recommended sizing: 5–15% of total household financial assets. The other 85–95% goes in the Aggressive tiers, the dividend tier, the Tax-Efficient tier, or fixed income.
- Drawdown expectations: a 50% peak-to-trough drawdown on this sleeve is likely, not surprising. Quantum names move 30%+ on any given week. Expect it.
- Account location: hold this in Roth IRA wherever possible. The asymmetric upside (some names could 5–10x over the next decade) is exactly the kind of return you want growing tax-free.
- Position sizing: the smallest names (QUBT, QBTS, IONQ, RGTI, RKLB) are sized 1.5–4% specifically because individual outcomes range from binary zeros to 10x winners. Don't size up — sized correctly here, a single zero costs you 1.5–4% of the sleeve, which is 0.075–0.6% of household.
- Rebalancing: if any position grows past 6% of the sleeve, trim back to the 4% target. The asymmetric returns mean winners will compound; let them, but don't let them become the entire sleeve.
- Suitability: not appropriate for clients in or near retirement who need this money for living expenses in the next 5 years. This sleeve is for the 10–30 year compounding horizon.
Thesis — Concentrated high-conviction thematic book. 29 positions across AI infrastructure, quantum computing, and frontier semis. Speculative sleeve only — sized for risk-on capital.
Investment Policy Statement

Capital Wealth Dividend Income · 5% Yield Focus
25-position balanced book targeting a ~5% blended yield with growth-friendly quality cushion. Half quality-dividend core (SCHD/VYM + classic dividend champions yielding 3%) and half higher-yield income (MLPs, REITs, BDCs, covered-call ETFs yielding 6–9%) — blended together to hit a 5% portfolio yield without concentrating in a single high-yield trap. Designed for clients who want their portfolio to pay them now without giving up the chance to grow over a 10-year horizon. Pairs well with Social Security as a guaranteed-income complement. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +9.7% · 1-yr +13.0% · 5-yr annualized +9.8% · 2022 stress +1.4% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.

Income Mechanics
- Distribution cadence: SCHD/VYM/DGRO quarterly; O/MAIN monthly; PFF/JEPI monthly; MLPs (ET/MPLX) and BDCs (ARCC) quarterly. The blended payout schedule produces income roughly every week of the year.
- Annual cash flow on $500K invested: ~$25,250 (5.05% of $500K). Roughly $2,100/month if reinvested-or-spent monthly.
- Account location: hold MLPs (ET, MPLX) and BDCs (MAIN, ARCC) in tax-deferred accounts (Traditional IRA, 401(k), 403(b)) — they generate ordinary income, not qualified dividends. The quality-core ETFs (SCHD/VYM/DGRO) and dividend stocks (JNJ/PG/KO/PEP/ABBV/MRK) belong in taxable brokerage where you get the qualified-dividend rate. JEPI is a hybrid — half qualified, half ordinary; better in tax-deferred.
- K-1 forms: ET and MPLX issue Schedule K-1 (not 1099-DIV). If you don't want K-1 paperwork, swap them for AMLP or MLPX (MLP ETFs that handle the K-1 internally and issue 1099 to investors).
- Distribution tax treatment: qualified dividends taxed at LTCG rates (0/15/20%); MLP/BDC/REIT distributions taxed as ordinary income; Treasury interest is federal-only-taxed (state-tax exempt).
- Rebalancing: trim winners back to target weight quarterly; the Higher-Yield sleeve will drift up faster than Quality Core because of the higher distributions, so the trim is naturally tax-aware (taking gains in the higher-cost-basis lots first).
- Use case: ideal for a CalSTRS / CalPERS retiree who has Social Security + pension covering fixed expenses and wants the brokerage account to fund discretionary spend (travel, family help) without selling principal.
Thesis — Diversified high-conviction balanced book targeting a 5% yield. Equity-income tilt with a defensive bond sleeve. For clients who want growth participation with an income floor.
Investment Policy Statement

Tax Location Guidance
- Best fit: Roth IRA — tax-free yield compounding
- Acceptable: Traditional IRA / 403(b); taxable for qualified-dividend sleeve
- Avoid for high-bracket taxable: MLP / BDC / REIT names throw off ordinary income — place those in tax-deferred

Capital Wealth ETF Midterm · $50K · Broad-Market Tilt
The all-ETF expression of the midterm posture (Nov 2026) — the same tilt the single-name Midterm Election Dividend books run, built entirely from low-cost index ETFs so it can be implemented in any account with open-market access. Quality and dividend tilts over the core, three defensive sectors, real assets against the fiscal risk, and deliberately short duration on the bond side.

Capital Wealth Midterm Election Dividend · $50K · Defensive Income
The midterm-election book (Nov 2026) — defensive dividend payers (staples, healthcare, utilities, telecom) to ride out pre-election chop, paired with consumer-discretionary dividend growers positioned for the historical post-midterm relief rally, over a T-bill/gold ballast. Portal-synced via slug midterm_dividend_50k. Performance (baked, Sep 16 close): 1-yr +14.9% · annualized since Sep 2021 (5.0 yrs) +11.6% · 2022 calendar year +6.5% vs S&P 500 −18.2% · max drawdown −10.1% vs S&P 500 −24.5% over the same window · beta 0.37. Sep 1 2026 rebuild: consumer-discretionary payers trimmed by about a third (nothing exited — gas at $4.30 is their customer's problem), funding defensive adds (GILD, PFE, CHD at 2% and a dividend-paying quality-tech pair (MSFT, AVGO) at 2%). Sep 15 2026: energy sleeve doubled from 4.5% to 9.0% — XOM, COP, EOG, DVN, FANG, EPD, OKE, KMI, ENB added at 0.5% each, with Brent near $107 — and an industrials seat added (UNP, HON, LMT, GD at 2% each), funded pro rata from staples and utilities (26.8% → 14.3% of the book). JNJ trimmed from 5.48% to the 5% house cap; the 0.48% went to SGOV. Sep 16 2026 — repositioned for low volatility and income into Nov 3, the afternoon the Fed raised to 3.75–4.00%: T-bills raised to 14.9% with the money from the exits — the reserve for the letter’s buys at −8%, −12% and on Nov 3, in thirds; the Sep 15 producer seats out (XOM, COP, EOG, DVN, FANG) — not chasing oil; the high-volatility names that pay nothing before Nov 3 out (GPC, TGT, AVGO); PFE trimmed per the Aug 13 decision; the 0.5% pipeline seats consolidated into KMI and OKE at 1% (EPD, ENB out); PNC and USB added (both pay before Nov 3); gold halved; every other seat unchanged. Approx. blended dividend yield ≈ 2.6% (holdings-weighted trailing 12-month yield, Yahoo Finance, computed 2026-09-16 by scripts/build-dividend-yields.js; covers 100% of book weight).

Capital Wealth Midterm Election Dividend · $250K · Defensive Income
The $250K tier of the midterm-election book (Nov 2026) — the $100K set widened with global snacking (MDLZ), a second high-yield telecom (T), another regulated utility (XEL), waste #2 (RSG) and a contrarian discretionary aristocrat (NKE). Portal-synced via slug midterm_dividend_250k. Performance (baked, Sep 16 close): 1-yr +12.8% · annualized since Sep 2021 (5.0 yrs) +11.3% · 2022 calendar year +7.0% vs S&P 500 −18.2% · max drawdown −10.3% vs S&P 500 −24.5% over the same window · beta 0.35. Sep 1 2026 rebuild: consumer-discretionary payers trimmed by about a third (nothing exited — gas at $4.30 is their customer's problem), funding defensive adds (GILD, PFE, CHD, SYY, ADM, PGR at 1% and a dividend-paying quality-tech sleeve (MSFT, AAPL, AVGO, TXN) at 1%). Sep 15 2026: energy sleeve doubled from 4.5% to 9.0% — XOM, COP, EOG, DVN, FANG, EPD, OKE, KMI, ENB added at 0.5% each, with Brent near $107 — and an industrials seat added (UNP, HON, LMT, GD at 1% each), funded pro rata from staples and utilities (34.6% → 26.1% of the book). Sep 16 2026 — repositioned for low volatility and income into Nov 3, the afternoon the Fed raised to 3.75–4.00%: T-bills raised to 11.4% with the money from the exits — the reserve for the letter’s buys at −8%, −12% and on Nov 3, in thirds; the Sep 15 producer seats out (XOM, COP, EOG, DVN, FANG) — not chasing oil; the high-volatility names that pay nothing before Nov 3 out (NKE, GPC, TGT, AVGO, TXN); PFE trimmed per the Aug 13 decision; PNC and USB added (both pay before Nov 3); gold halved; every other seat unchanged.

Capital Wealth Midterm Election Dividend · $1M · Defensive Income
The $1M tier of the midterm-election book (Nov 2026), added Sep 15 2026: the $500K set carried up — its dated adds keep their seats, every other inherited row is scaled to 81% of its $500K weight (rounding residue on the largest row), the six regulated utilities then share one extra 1% seat — plus a 13-name breadth layer (LLY out Sep 16) (GIS, ADM, PGR, GILD, DG carried up from the $250K tier; MO, O, VICI, ALL, RTX, NOC, WMT, COST, LLY) and a larger ballast, now SGOV 16% and IAU 1.50%. No fund overlay: a covered-call sleeve would cap the post-vote rally the discretionary names are held for. 69 seats; the smallest is 0.50%, $5,000 at $1M; no single stock over 2.1%. Portal-synced via slug midterm_dividend_1m. Performance (baked, Sep 16 close): 1-yr +11.7% · annualized since Sep 2021 (5.0 yrs) +11.4% · 2022 calendar year +4.5% vs S&P 500 −18.2% · max drawdown −10.5% vs S&P 500 −24.5% over the same window · beta 0.39. Sep 16 2026 — repositioned for low volatility and income into Nov 3, the afternoon the Fed raised to 3.75–4.00%: T-bills raised to 16.0% with the money from the exits — the reserve for the letter’s buys at −8%, −12% and on Nov 3, in thirds; the Sep 15 producer seats out (COP, EOG, DVN, FANG) — not chasing oil; the high-volatility names that pay nothing before Nov 3 out (CEG, LLY, GPC, TGT, AVGO, META, TXN); PFE trimmed per the Aug 13 decision; PNC and USB added (both pay before Nov 3); gold halved; every other seat unchanged. Approx. blended dividend yield ≈ 2.8% (holdings-weighted trailing 12-month yield, Yahoo Finance, computed 2026-09-16 by scripts/build-dividend-yields.js; covers 100% of book weight).

Fourteen seats — the smallest is 5%, about $1,250 at $25K and $1,500 at $30K, so every position is large enough to trim. Chips get the headlines; the data hall does not run without the substation.

Capital Wealth Theme 1 · Fiscal-Dominance Inflation · $100K · Cycle Theme
The house base case. Built for a regime where deficits are funded into a hot economy and the long end won’t rally — so we own durable cash flow and real assets, not duration. Diversified across eight sleeves (energy & midstream, gold & miners, defense backlog, pricing-power compounders, banks, AI picks-and-shovels, short-duration TIPS/T-bills ballast, real-economy international) — no sleeve over 15%, every name under the 5% single-stock cap per the house concentration rule. The
Hard Assets books (slugs
hardassets_100k/250k/500k) are the concentrated real-asset core of this same regime — fewer sleeves, more conviction.
Bond signal: 10Y ~4.45% with the curve steepening on term premium, not cuts; PCE 4.1%, the Fed shifting from cuts to hikes.
Thesis basis: IN15 real assets · IN09 concentration discipline · IN04 inflation risk. 39 positions.
Scenario stress test (illustrative, 1-yr): Inflation +12.2% · AI Capex +11.3% · Soft Landing +9.9% · Stagflation +4.4% — positive in every regime. Portal-synced via slug
theme1_inflation.
Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +28.4% · 1-yr +34.8% · 5-yr annualized +26.2% · 2022 stress +12.9% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.Post-election destination — inflation path. Where the reserve goes instead when the fall decline is driven by a hot inflation print and a hiking Fed rather than ordinary election chop: buy the book built for the cause. Pre-assigned to road S3, “Fiscal Heat Into The Vote” (see the September Letter). Measured May 1 2024 – Sep 4 2026, monthly, against the S&P 500 Total Return: annualized +33.51% · standard deviation 10.49% · Sharpe 2.70 · Sortino 5.58 · maximum drawdown −10.79% · benchmark correlation 0.48 — the best risk-adjusted result of the four books tested, at roughly half the drawdown of the base-case destination. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The build-out as an infrastructure decade — owned across the whole value chain, not one chip. Eight sleeves: compute & custom silicon, memory & fab equipment, power & electrification, hyperscaler end-demand, data-center REITs, materials, networking/optical, and a T-bill + gold ballast — so if compute derates, power/REITs/memory still carry. Bond signal: record IG issuance is financing data centers; US power demand inflecting up for the first time in ~20 years. Largely independent of the rate cycle.

Capital Wealth 403(b) North Star · Now · Through Nov. 3
The North Star inside a 403(b), through the vote: the same sleeves and the same 15% reserve as the North Star books, built from the Orion 403(b) menu. Fourteen mutual funds, every one open at Schwab, Matrix and Fidelity custody; weighted fund cost 0.36%. ETFs are restricted on the menu, so the reserve sits in short bond funds (VUSFX, VSBSX) in place of SGOV and USFR, and it spends on the North Star’s dates: a third at −8% from the Aug. 13 high (into VSEQX, the menu’s stand-in for the equal-weight RSP), a third at −12% (the power builders, VINAX and FSUTX), the last third the week of the vote. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +17.0% · 1-yr +20.0% · 5-yr annualized +14.7% · 2022 stress −2.9% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.
| # | Ticker | Name | Weight | Sector / Theme | YTD | Contrib | Thesis |
| 1 | VUSFX | Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Admiral | 9.00% | Reserve | +2.1% | +0.19% | The North Star’s bills in fund form: ETFs are restricted on this menu and no money-market fund is open at Matrix or Fidelity. Yields about 4.1%; fell 0.4% in 2022. |
| 2 | VSBSX | Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index Admiral | 6.00% | Reserve | +0.4% | +0.03% | The pure-Treasury half of the reserve. Spends in thirds on the North Star’s dates: −8%, −12%, the week of the vote. |
| 3 | FSENX | Fidelity Select Energy | 14.00% | Energy | +52.0% | +7.31% | XOM, CVX, LNG, the refiners and midstream; tracks XLE at 0.98. Held, not chased. |
| 4 | VIGAX | Vanguard Growth Index Admiral | 11.00% | AI / Tech | +13.5% | +1.49% | The platforms at 0.05%: NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, AVGO, META. |
| 5 | FSPTX | Fidelity Select Technology | 10.00% | AI / Tech | +46.4% | +4.67% | The chips: NVDA 23%, AVGO, MRVL, NXPI, WDC. Beat the growth index by about 7 points a year over 5 and 10 years. |

| 12 | BGEIX | American Century Global Gold Investor | 5.00% | Gold | +3.0% | +0.15% | Insurance. No bullion fund is open on the menu, and miners move about twice as much as gold, so the sleeve is 5% where the North Star holds 6%. |

Thesis — the North Star, fund for fund. Energy, the build-out, power, defense, gold, healthcare, financials and staples, each held through the cheapest fund on the menu that does the job; a 15% reserve waiting for its dates. Nothing new is bought until a date arrives.

Capital Wealth 403(b) North Star · After the Vote · Nov. 4 to Dec. 31
The same book once the reserve is spent. The three thirds land where the North Star’s rule sends them: 5% to VSEQX (the average stock, the menu’s stand-in for RSP), 5% to the power builders (VINAX, FSUTX), and the last third to the build-out (VIGAX, FSPTX), the core of the destination books. Nothing else moves. Thirteen funds; weighted fund cost 0.39%. The twelve months after a midterm vote have been positive nineteen times out of nineteen since 1950; this is the seat for them. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +19.5% · 1-yr +22.4% · 5-yr annualized +16.4% · 2022 stress −5.6% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.

Thesis — defense won the fall; offense takes the year. The reserve was always November’s shopping money. If the −8% and −12% levels never print before the vote, those two thirds spend on the reversal signals (the result known, the volatility premium gone, breadth widening) and no later than Friday, Nov. 20.

The weights follow the 2027 view: breadth (VSEQX 12%), the build-out, international value (SFNNX), energy trimmed to 9%, and 5% in short TIPS. Fifteen funds; weighted fund cost 0.31%. Performance (current weights, Oct 9 close): YTD +18.8% · 1-yr +22.0% · 5-yr annualized +14.9% · 2022 stress −8.5% vs S&P 500 −18.2%.

Thesis — the lowest cost that earns its seat. The index where the index does the job; a specialist only where it has beaten that index. The case for 2027: the year after the vote, AI’s bill landing in power and metals, a zero equity premium over a 5% ten-year that rewards the cheaper average stock, and markets outside the dollar at lower multiples.
