GMP ETF 1

But how practical is it to invest in this way? Consider two thoughts. First, you can't get a more diversified portfolio than this. You are exposed to virtually every investable asset class in the world.

​Model #2- The Modified Global Market Portfolio

The next model incorporates modifications that make the portfolio more robust, and more realistic for investors. It adds to equity exposure, and lowers bond exposure. The returns should be higher than Model 1, without a significant increase in volatility.

​Model #3- The Conservative Income Portfolio

​Model #4- The Moderate Growth & Income Portfolio

​Model #5- The Aggressive Growth Portfolio

These model portfolios are not recommendations for the way you should allocate your funds. Each investor has a unique combination of goals, risk profile, time frame, and financial resources. Always consult your financial advisor before you invest in any model portfolio.​
