Building a tiered portfolio

This tiered portfolio has three segments:

1.  Foundation investments
2.  Rotational investments
3.  Opportunistic investments.


Foundation investments (80%)

These are like dividend-paying stocks that produce market (or better) returns with relatively less risk.


Rotational investments (10%)

These are mostly ETFs and inverse investments.  They add some defense and sector diversification to your portfolio.


Opportunistic investments (10%)

These employ a little more risk to boost returns.



Aim

The net result should be a portfolio that generates above-market returns with below-market risk.
