Listener Seb Armstrong sent me a question about exploring "...portfolio construction. Stocks, ETF’s, bonds, cash, property etc have all been discussed, but how should one balance these depending on their objectives?” Thanks Seb. I receive many questions from listeners about how to construct a balanced ETF portfolio so invited Graham Hand on from Firstlinks about a portfolio that mirrors the investments of Australia's sovereign wealth Future Fund.
