The 6 ETFs I'll Be Buying In 2025 (And You Might Want To Buy Them Too)

Summary

• ETFs mitigate risks associated with individual stocks, which can suffer permanent catastrophic returns or bankruptcy, even AAA-rated companies like Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson.
• My ZEUS Family Portfolio for 2025 will buy six ETFs, aiming for a 6.5% long-term annual withdrawal rate, including charity and living expenses.
• Dividend-focused ETFs like SCHD and DGRW don't meet my portfolio's return potential, but growth and hedging ETFs, like the Mount Lucas managed futures ETF, offer significant benefits.
• KMLM and CTA are gold-standard managed futures ETFs that historically rise 7% to 8% for every 10% the S&P falls during corrections.
• VFLO is the king of deep value ETFs, using a strategy that historically delivered 19% annual returns for 33 years (beating Buffett by 4% annually) that has so far generated 26% annual returns and beaten the S&P and Nasdaq in a Mag 7-fueled rally.
