## Portfolio update
We last updated the MoneyWeek ETF portfolio in July when we added one new position, bringing in WisdomTree True Emerging Markets (LSE: WEMP) to balance the growing technology tilt in our long-standing iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets (LSE: EMIM) position.
## Emerging markets allocation
We now have 15% in emerging markets, which sounds high but the Korea and Taiwan element (which is around 50% of EMIM) is now a play on the ai investment cycle to such an extent that it no longer seems to make sense to think of them as subject to the classic emerging-market trends.
## AI exposure
Combined, we have about 10% in emerging markets and about 5% highly geared to ai capex. The latter is something to keep in mind if the ai boom ends and we want to cut exposure.
## Real estate holding
Our real-estate holding Xtrackers FTSE Developed Europe Real Estate (LSE: XDER) is struggling due to higher energy costs, higher inflation and higher interest rates over the medium term.
## Real estate strategy
We could consider adding a fund like iShares Global Infrastructure (LSE: INFR) but this is also selling off as long bond yields rise. For now, we will add 5% from XDER plus the remaining 5% from our uninvested cash to iShares $ TIPS 0-5 GBP Hedged (LSE: TI5G).
## New allocation
This move takes the portfolio to 20% in total from the underlying bonds in iShares $ TIPS 0-5 GBP Hedged (LSE: TI5G), which offer a 2.8% real yield with limited interest-rate risk.
## Key takeaway

MoneyWeek reduces European real estate to 5% and adds AI-focused bonds to their ETF portfolio as AI investment cycles shift.
