The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here is a suggested allocation for the portion of your portfolio where you desire "know nothing full exposure" to the US market.

Sure, could do that. There are all-in-one products that would make it simpler to manage. My concern is recommending something that gets closed or languishes in some way. I want them to get a reasonable result, it doesn't have to be sensational. One hopes the kids all have successful and satisfying careers.

Currently cap weighted may not be favorable, but a person DCA-ing over multiple decades, the difference between the two may not be much.

I agree, though in the context of this thread the investments will be lump sum. Probable timeline: I die, wife leaves everything as is, she dies, everything goes into separate trusts for the kids, trustee decides what investments to use in each trust.
