Q: Hello
I recently read the following,
Warren Buffet flatly endorsed a simple portfolio of inexpensive index funds for his own survivors. My advice to the trustee couldn't be more simple: Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard's.) I believe the trust's long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors — whether pension funds, institutions or individuals — who employ high-fee managers.

If a Canadian was to follow this advice, and allocate some to a Canadian index fund, a U.S index fund and short term government bonds. What would your allocations be and what Canadian Index fund would you recommend? If you where to periodically rebalance the portfolio how often would you do that. Would you use this strategy in RRSPs, TFSAs and RESPs?
Also should the investor protect him/herself from U.S dollar currency risk?
Use the assumption that this is for long term investing.

thanks, looking forward to your comments.
