User asks for feedback on a planned $5M windfall allocation across VOO, VXUS, VUG, SCHD, and SGOV.

SGOV — LONG The author plans to hold $1M in SGOV for a tax liability due throughout the year. He wants capital preservation and some yield, noting SGOV yields 4.1% now. He chooses SGOV over VOO because he needs the money this year and is uncomfortable putting it in VOO near all-time highs.

$1M in SGOV - this is the tax liability due throughout the year. Really just going for capital preservation and some yield here. It's 4.1% right now.
