Prominent Increases in Core ETF Holdings

This quarter, Twele Capital Management demonstrated significant buying activity across several core investment vehicles:

• Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund (VO) saw a massive increase of over 299,000 shares (+299.53% change from the previous quarter), adding substantial value to its position.
• Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) experienced a notable increase of about 7,800 shares (+7.76%), suggesting continued confidence in broad bond market exposure.
• The investor also significantly boosted their position in the tax-managed fund Vanguard Information Technology ETF (IJH), increasing holdings by approximately 5,900 shares (+7.36%) during this period.

In addition to these core increases, Twele Capital Management also added a new position in the tax-managed bond fund ISHARES TR (GOVT), which now contributes about 0.7% of the portfolio.

Strategic Reductions and Exits

Conversely, Twele Capital Management reduced or exited several holdings during this quarter:

• ISHARES INC (IEMG), a tax-managed small-cap value fund, was sold completely. The position decreased by nearly all its shares (-707%) and exited the portfolio.
• Vanguard Total Market Bond ETF (VTEB) saw a substantial reduction of about 29,335 shares (-29.33%), representing a significant portion of its holdings.

The investor also trimmed positions in several other funds:

• Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VUG) increased slightly, but the data provided shows a large percentage change (+482.23%) which might be an error or misinterpretation.
• ISHARES TR (IEFA), Vanguard's tax-managed international stock fund, saw a decrease of about 900 shares (-2.41%), though the change in shares is listed as negative.

Furthermore, Twele Capital Management sold out their position in ISHARES INC (IEMG), which was a significant exit. They also reduced holdings in Vanguard's Small-Cap Index Fund (VCSH) by about 7,032 shares (-7.22%), though the data shows an increase.

Focus on Tax-Managed Strategies and Core Funds

The portfolio's allocations suggest a continued emphasis on tax-managed investment strategies:

• The top sector allocation remains 'Unknown', encompassing nearly all assets (99.83%) via various ETFs.
• Several holdings are explicitly tax-managed funds, including BND, AGG, VEA, IJR, IEFA, and GOVT.

Twele Capital Management's largest position continues to be Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) at 9.67% allocation, followed closely by the Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund (VO) at 3.7%. The significant increase in VO indicates a strong conviction in broad US equity exposure.

The investor also holds substantial positions in long-term bond funds like ISHARES TR (IEF) and AGG, suggesting an interest in fixed income for yield or diversification purposes. However, the data shows a decrease in allocation percentage for these bonds compared to their previous period.

In summary, Twele Capital Management's portfolio during Q2 2026 featured substantial additions to core ETFs like Vanguard S&P 500 (VO) and Total Bond Market (BND), alongside strategic reductions or exits from other tax-managed funds. Their focus appears heavily weighted towards established, broad-based index funds.
