The World’s Simplest Portfolio
Scott Adams of Dilbert fame gives us his suggestion for the World’s Simplest Portfolio (“that is better than what the average money managing expert might concoct”).
He suggests half in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and half in the Vanguard Emerging Market ETF (VWO).
That’s not bad, but I can make it even simpler—put all of your money is a Treasury set for the date you need the money. Simple, right? Even better, use a zero-coupon Treasury which is like automatically reinvesting your dividends.
You can skip the transaction costs by buying the bond right from the Treasury. Your default risk is nil.
There’s a chance that you might not perform as well as the market as a whole, but over the past few decades, the equity premium hasn’t been much to write home about. Plus, most of the premium would be eaten away by expenses, even tiny ones from Vanguard.
If you were to design a ratio of Performance-to-Headaches, this portfolio is hard to beat.

This chart above shows how the two ETFs Adams recommends have performed, plus the American Century Target 2025 fund which I'm including as a proxy for long-term Treasuries.
