ETF Investor ran an article written by XTF Advisors. The article compares DVY (personal holding) and PEY. It is a good read if you are interested in dividend paying ETFs.I was more interested to see what XTF does in the way of all ETF Portfolios. This the one sample I was able to find. I don't know if it is a real portfolio but it doesn't seem logical that a firm would create a fake portfolio with such detail.
Either way lets assume its real. I plugged this portfolio into Morningstar assuming $100,000 invested.
Over the last twelve months this portfolio has almost exactly matched the returns of the S+P 500. Additionally the overall yield is 2.67% as of now and while it might have been a little different twelve months ago, you get the idea. The portfolio has had close to market returns with only 70% invested in equities. I'd say that is pretty good.
Also revealed in the Morningstar X-Ray is that it is heavily tilted toward value and noticeably overweight financials, 26% to 19% for the S+P 500.
Anyone may want to structure a portfolio differently than this or not but the take away here should be that a lot more firms will offer all ETF portfolios. If this type of product appeals to you I recommend asking for an X-Ray kind of report on what they propose or spend the money and figure it yourself on Morningstar, or something similar.
I think this particular portfolio does not have enough foreign and I think this is the wrong time to overweight financials but every portfolio has flaws. The two I see right away with this one are either right or wrong but I think there is value in having this type of information.

Also, might add caveat that XTF referred to this sample portfolio as having a 5 year target time frame. To me it makes the tilt toward Financials even more puzzling.
This is great info, Roger! However, what I REALLY want to see is how YOU would construct an all-ETF portfolio. C'mon!
