AOA: how its history is extended
A constant mix of the lab's sleeve chains at the fund's target allocation — 80% equity (US 60 / developed 32 / emerging 8 within equity) and 19% US bonds — rebalanced monthly, less a 0.15%/yr expense ratio. Each sleeve is itself an ETF←mutual-fund backfill. Spliced to the real fund's returns from its first trading day.
