The Need for Reliable Asset Growth and Preservation
They say necessity is the mother of invention.  In the case of Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, the need for reliable asset growth and preservation was the catalyst for a financial strategy that now boasts a twenty-year track record of wealth management.

In recent years, investors aiming to grow wealth while mitigating risk have faced the boom and bust of the 1990’s, instability in the Middle East and the economic impact of natural disasters worldwide.  These incidents serve as constant reminders of the unpredictability of the economic marketplace and a testament of Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds’ resiliency.

1970’s Economic Turmoil Plants the Seeds of Innovation
Since its inception in 1982, when the world was recovering from sky rocketing oil prices and socio-political uncertainty, a lot has changed. And yet an investor’s need to preserve and grow wealth remains.  Over two decades since the Libyan oil embargo and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, perhaps the only thing remaining certain is the reality that unpredictable forces beyond human control will always have a direct impact on the volatility of the market. Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds was created to prosper despite this volatility. 

The principal goal of Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds is to increase and preserve the real purchasing power of each shareholder’s investment, regardless of economic market fluctuations. The firm’s primary fund, Permanent Portfolio, is designed to build wealth at all times by investing 20% in gold, 5% in silver, 10% in Swiss franc assets, 15% in U.S. and foreign real estate and natural resource companies, 15% in U.S. aggressive growth stocks, and 35% in cash and U.S. Treasury securities.

A Portfolio Gives Rise to a Family of Funds
We believe Permanent Portfolio continues to be a sound choice for both conservative and aggressive investors looking to ride the economic waves of the future without the fear of a sinking ship.  A clear illustration of the firm’s philosophy, its diversity of holdings allows for growth and asset preservation during times of prosperity or in the face of economic obstacles like rising inflation, recessions, or a deflationary crash.

Permanent Portfolio has paved the way for Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds.  The four funds, each with its own purpose and direction, share a grounded strategy of diversification and mitigated risk.  A clear illustration of their namesake, the funds offer investors a permanent approach to asset preservation and capital growth.
