The Permanent Portfolio Fund (PRPFX) is an actively managed fund that seeks to slowly grow an investor’s capital during all market conditions. PRPFX invests in a variety of hard assets designed to preserve and increase purchasing power, such as gold, Treasury bonds, growth stocks, Swiss francs and real estate. Managers at the fund keep weightings among these assets within a few points of target percentages.
PRPFX is designed as an all-weather portfolio and strategy. As such, it can be used as a core position for conservative investors. The fund is managed by Pacific Heights Asset Management.
