PencilThinMustache,

Your asset allocation is alright. My only concern is your significantly exposed to U.S Equities.

The asset allocation for my investment portfolio looks as follows,

Canadian Equities 22%
U.S. Equities 22%
International Equities 22%
Emerging Markets 22%
Real Estate REIT 12%

With the investment portfolio you are planning on you would have most likely had higher returns in 2014 then myself. I diversify as I do not expect one equity to continually outperform the others.

Let me know what you decide,

Mr. Captain Cash
