VAnguard-POrtfolio-REbalance VAPORE

Algorithm setup to determine proper spread of Vanguard ETF index funds and adjust with the downloaded vanguards transaction file. Current allocation:

Symbol Description Type % of type
VV US large cap stock Stock 22.222
VO US mid cap stock Stock 22.222
VB US small cap stock Stock 22.222
VTC US total corp bond Bond 33.333
BND US total bond Bond 33.333
VXUS Total international stock Stock 22.222
VWO Emerging markets stock Stock 11.111
BNDX Total international bond Bond 33.333

The value depends on overall asset allocation. As in, if the asset allocation is 90% stock and 10% bond, each percentage listed above is a fraction of that 90% or 10%. For US large cap stock, the math is 90% * 22.222%. The values above are stored within constants in the holdings source file and can be changed there. The default stock vs. bond distribution is 90 vs 10 for retirement accounts and 60 vs 40 for brokerage investment accounts. These can be changed through command line arguments.

The algorithm is setup to shift the riskiest assets to the roth account and the less risky assets to the traditional IRA account. This is done to allow for the most growth to happen within the account which does not get taxed.

VTC and BND is included in order to shift money away from government bonds and into AAA corporate bonds. There is also an equal distribution among cap sizes in order to not be over invested in large cap stocks.

Web app is missing due to yahoo not working with WASM:

  • Distributions as previous year portfolio value cannot be calculated without yahoo stock prices.
  • Alpaca updates also not included

On either version, follow instructions below

  • Click Open Vanguard File and import the ofxdownload.csv file
  • Type in name and click create to create a new profile. This will be cached for future use.
  • Enter birth year and retirement year
  • Add account numbers and check the retirement box next to brokerage if the brokerage account is to be balance with the retirement accounts.
  • If not using the brokerage account with retirement balancing, there is a slider for stock percentage.
  • Only with local app: If old enough to need distributions from the traditional IRA, then Load distribution table.
  • Click Update to calculate holdings and target purchases. The calculated values can be seen in the dropdown menus
