$32.7M is nothing to sneeze at, curious what the actual allocation split looks like between the bond funds vs VEA and SHLD.
Bond ETFs plus a defense fund is an odd pairing, guessing they're hedging rates risk while betting on geopolitical tension.
Nice mix of bonds and equities there, looks like someone's playing it safe while still chasing growth with that defense tech pick.
