Bill Schultheis Coffee House Portfolio
The Coffee House Portfolio is an investment strategy developed by Bill Schultheis, a financial advisor and author of "The Coffeehouse Investor." It is designed to be a simple, low-cost, diversified portfolio that individual investors can quickly implement.
The Coffee House Portfolio comprises a mix of three index funds: a domestic stock index fund, an international stock index fund, and a bond index fund. The specific asset classes and investments within each category can vary, but the overall allocation is meant to be relatively stable over time. In addition, the portfolio is designed to be globally diversified and to balance growth and income.
One of the fundamental principles of the Coffee House Portfolio is the idea of "passive investing," which involves using index funds to track the performance of a broad market or market segment rather than trying to beat the market through active stock picking or market timing. The goal is to maximize returns while minimizing costs and complexity to produce consistent, long-term results.
