I'm a huge fan of Ben Felix and his proposed factor tilts. Here we'll look at how to construct a U.S. version of his proposed model portfolio, ETFs to use, and why you might want to invest in it.

// SUMMARY:
Ben Felix is a portfolio manager at PWL Capital in Canada. He is perhaps better known for his KZbin channel Common Sense Investing (@BenFelixCSI) and his Rational Reminder podcast (@rationalreminder) alongside Cameron Passmore.
Felix is a proponent of objectively looking at the evidence and data to inform and optimize investing decisions. For example, he is a proponent of index investing and small cap value, just like famous investors like Larry Swedroe and Paul Merriman.
The Ben Felix Model Portfolio, as the name suggests, is a lazy portfolio designed by Ben Felix and Cameron Passmore of PWL Capital that utilizes globally diversified index funds plus factor tilts, particularly for Size, Value, and Profitability. You can find the paper here for the proposed factor portfolio. They discuss the merits of this portfolio across many episodes of their Rational Reminder podcast.
Since Ben Felix and PWL Capital are in Canada, the proposed model portfolio is based largely around Canadian index funds:
30% iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite ETF - XIC
30% Vanguard US Total Market ETF - VUN
10% Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF - AVUV
16% iShares Core MSCI EAFE IMI Index ETF - XEF
6% Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF - AVDV
8% iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI Index ETF - XEC
A U.S. translation looks like this:
42% U.S. Stock Market
24% International (ex-US) Developed Markets
12% Emerging Markets
14% U.S. Small Cap Value
8% International (ex-US) Small Cap Value
