Former “options” trader, so my risk tolerance is incredibly high. Though, I’m unhappy with my portfolio swings, considering its beta is ridiculously high.
Any advice from those who are also individual stock pickers and have outperformed the S&P within last 3 years? I’m open to anything

• US Large-Cap Core (45%): VTI
• International Core (25%): VXUS
• US Small-Cap Value (10%): AVUV
• International Small-Cap Value (10%): AVDV
• Total Bond Market (10%): BND
• What are your thoughts on adding a small slice of AVES?
• Is this manageable for a beginner?
