AI Analysis · Q3 2026

Tanglewood Wealth Management's $1.21B Q1 2026 13F is a 38-ETF portfolio with a meaningful rotation out of gold and into interest-rate-sensitive and dividend-focused strategies. SPY and IVV anchor the equity side at 25%, VEA adds developed-markets exposure at 15.5%, and IEI (3-7 Year Treasury) rose to 15.7% of the book — up from 16.2% in shares but still the second-largest position. The manager added sharply to infrastructure and dividend sleeves: NFRA (FlexShares Infrastructure) up 22.4%, PAVE (Global X Infrastructure) entered as a new $4.0M position, and VIGI (International Dividend Appreciation) was increased despite being reduced in value. Gold was the largest reduction: IAU fell 12% in shares and GLD fell 12.2% in shares. The whaleScore of 74.75 measures the scale of a systematic core allocation, not stock-picking skill.

Tanglewood Wealth Management's Q1 2026 13F is 38 ETFs organized around a standard core-satellite architecture. VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market) at 15.8%, IEI (iShares 3-7 Year Treasury) at 15.7%, and VEA (Vanguard Developed Markets) at 15.5% anchor the portfolio. IJH (iShares Mid-Cap), IEMG (iShares Emerging Markets), IAU (iShares Gold), SHY (iShares Short Treasury), VGIT (Vanguard Intermediate Treasury), GLD (SPDR Gold), and FNDX (Schwab Fundamental Large-Cap) fill out the core. Into that framework, the manager has added satellite positions in infrastructure (NFRA, PAVE), dividend appreciation (VIGI), quality factor (QLTY), and real estate (VNQ).
