The Sleepy Portfolio does have a 5% allocation to emerging markets via the VWO ETF. I think larger portfolios should definitely have exposure to emerging markets.

I have a similar portfolio for saving for our kids' education and it will get more conservative quicker than our retirement portfolios. The portfolios become conservative by simply increasing the bond allocation. Since, we are adding money regularly, we can rebalance by channeling the new contributions appropriately.
