<p>Those familiar with our philosophy know that the cash allocation in our Model Fund Portfolio is adjusted relative to the measurable risk in the market. When risk is elevated, we advise holding a higher cash position. Not only has carrying a cash buffer in our Model Fund Portfolio been key to limiting bear market losses over our 40+ year history, but it has helped us to take full advantage of low-risk buying opportunities when they emerge.</p>

<p>Many investors don’t realize that they may be earning next to nothing in brokerage bank sweep cash, and they should take diligent care to make the most out of this portion of their portfolio, especially now that interest rates are exceeding 5%.</p>
