Investing in an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is one of the most popular ways for investors to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of stocks or bonds. ETFs are a great way to simplify your investment portfolio while offering lower costs and instant diversification. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at My ETF Portfolio Review, specifically my SEP IRA Retirement Portfolio, and analyze how it’s performing.

My ETF Portfolio Structure

My ETF portfolio consists of four ETFs allocated in different percentages. The ETFs I hold are the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG), and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA). I’ve allocated 50% in IVV, 25% in IWM, 20% in AGG, and 5% in EFA.

iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 index. It’s designed to provide exposure to the largest 500 U.S. companies, including Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, and Amazon. IVV is a great foundation for a diversified portfolio as it represents top-performing companies from different industries.

iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)

The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) tracks the performance of the Russell 2000 index, which comprises small-cap companies in the U.S. IWM provides exposure to U.S. companies that are not typically included in the S&P 500 index. IWM offers potential growth opportunities that larger companies may not provide.

iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)

The iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) tracks the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which includes investment-grade bonds. AGG offers exposure to bonds with varying maturities and credit qualities, helping to diversify your portfolio while providing a fixed-income component.

iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA)

The iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) provides exposure to companies in developed markets outside of North America. EFA includes companies such as Nestle, Samsung, and Toyota. EFA can provide diversification benefits as it includes companies not typically included in U.S.-based indexes.

Portfolio Performance and Risks

My ETF portfolio consists of primarily U.S.-based ETFs, which means the portfolio is heavily weighted towards U.S. stocks. My portfolio performance could potentially be impacted if the U.S. economy experiences a recession or market volatility. Nevertheless, diversification in bonds and international equities offered by AGG and EFA respectively can help to mitigate the risk.

As of the end of August 2021, my ETF portfolio performance was up +24% since the beginning of the year. IVV, which represents 50% of my portfolio, has grown +19%. IWM, which forms 25% of my portfolio, has significantly outperformed IVV by growing at a whopping +34%. AGG, representing 20% of my portfolio, grew +1%, and EFA, which makes up 5% of my portfolio, saw a growth rate of +10%.

Conclusion

Investing in ETFs is a great way to diversify your portfolio while keeping costs low. My ETF portfolio structures towards U.S. equities can work great for someone seeking to gain exposure to the U.S. economy while offering growth and income potential for the retirement portfolio. The 4 ETFs in my portfolio have delivered a +24% growth rate for my SEP IRA account since January 2021, which can potentially compound over time.
