A decent mix. A bit heavy on the large caps. I personally like to add some small/mid cap as rocket fuel for my portfolio. Also, you have a 60% exposure to foreign currencies. Ok if you are thinking of leaving SA, a bit high if you are planning to stay.
It won't mean anything if you leave, it's still a JSE traded stock in rands. DbxWD is exposure to outside SAs borders which is a good thing concidering where this country is going.
I won't add any small caps in a TFSA, remember a TFSA/TFSI is not a short term or trading portfolio its a tax free long term read decades portfolio you want a proven track record in there. Despite the dip coming in 2017 time in the market over the decades will make a bigger difference.

« on: December 19, 2016, 11:10:39 am »Hi guys - about to begin riding the TFSA train, and I'm wondering how best to go about splitting the various ETF's.
My thinking is this - the only real question for a TFSA is how big you're going on the international allocation. For the SA equities, you'd put the bulk in DIVTRX/STXINDI/perhaps a REIT. For the international, a good option is DBXWD (TER of 0.68%). Not sure if it's necessary to include DBXUS, but perhaps it's a good idea to have a bigger proportion of the world's biggest economy.
So, with these conditions, how much of your portfolio would you put in the international players? I was thinking of a straight 50/50, but I'm wondering if that could be favorably tweaked. As this will only be accessed in 16 odd years, I'm ultimately far more interested in the long term performance, and so want to optimize for that. Any thoughts/criticisms?

50% DbxWD
30% CTOP50
10% PTXTEN
10% GLPROP

GBP drops another 2% versus the USD.
Going to be another volatile JSE I think we will open negative around 0.6%
