1 A few small utilities to help with asset allocation 2 3 These scripts accept data in the form 4 5 symbol number 6 7 where `symbol' identifies the asset (for example a stock market 8 ticker symbol) and `number' means different things depending on 9 which script is interpreting it: In the case of `alloc' it is a 10 percentage of your portfolio you want to allocate to that asset, 11 and in the case of `er' it is the expense ratio of the asset. 12 13 The scripts likely have the most recent usage information, but 14 here's a (hard to follow) example of how you might use these tools 15 to allocate $8,000 between four different funds (VTI, VWO, VPL, and 16 VGK) with 70% going to the first fund and 10% going to each other 17 using alloc: 18 19 $ echo '# Allocation percentages 20 VTI 70 21 VWO 10 22 VPL 10 23 VGK 10' > input 24 25 $ alloc 8000 < input 26 VTI 5600 27 VWO 800 28 VPL 800 29 VGK 800
