The decision
Maintain the four-rung Treasury ladder with a 1,500 bp USD reserve and no position above 2,500 bp. The cash-like and 1-3-year rungs anchor duration-years, while 2,000 bp intermediate and 1,500 bp long duration retain total-return participation. Negative 20-session returns on the longer rungs warrant restrained rather than concentrated duration risk.
Targets & reasoning
Before is the portfolio weight captured at decision time. Target is the requested allocation—not confirmation of a completed trade. These are simulated strategy weights, not personalized allocations.
I expect BIL’s 2,500 bp cash-like rung to stabilize portfolio duration-years because its 20-session return was -0.04% and its close matched the 20-session average, while its trailing yield was 3.72%. I’m wrong if short-rate income falls or price stability breaks.

I expect SHY’s 2,500 bp 1-3-year rung to contain duration-year drawdown because its 20-session return was -0.85%, less negative than the intermediate and long rungs, and it retains a 3.64% trailing yield. I’m wrong if its drawdown accelerates despite short-maturity exposure.

I expect IEF’s 2,000 bp intermediate duration-year rung to provide balanced carry with recovery potential because its trailing yield is 4.06%, although the close of 91.25 remains below its 92.16 20-session average after a -2.28% 20-session return. I’m wrong if intermediate-rate pressure persists and the drawdown extends.

I expect TLT’s limited 1,500 bp long-duration rung to add high carry because its trailing yield is 4.76%, while the small weight contains duration-year sensitivity after a -1.49% 20-session return and an 81.78 close below its 82.01 average. I’m wrong if long-rate pressure persists.
