Interesting. Do you think this might compliment a PP? Seems to have some similar asset allocation. I checked out the Canadian ETF which started in 2016. Not exactly knocking my socks off but short history. https://www.horizonsetfs.com/etf/HRA

It's a horrible ETF I think (the Canadian one). Quite expensive for what it does and unless you are ultra conservative I don't see the point of a 20/80 portfolio even in retirement. If one is going to do risk parity for growth then you need to figure out a way to leverage it. This can be done via leveraging the stock or bond component or both. For DIY leveraging the stock component and reallocating the freed up cash to bonds is probably the least complex option. This can be done via a 2/3x ETF, calls or futures. Of these latter three, I'd go with futures.
