			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The permanent portfolio fund is a type of investment that is made to offer a solid performance whatever of what is going on in the market. Here are the basics of permanent portfolio funds and what they have to offer you as an investor.</p>
<p><strong>Permanent Portfolio Fund</strong></p>
<p>The idea for permanent portfolio funds that you have a mutual fund that could withstand any market conditions. This was accomplished by investing in many different types of securities. Putting emphasis on investing in things that you could find outside of the stock market.</p>
<p>A permanent portfolio school of thought was to invest in an equal proportion of stocks, bonds, cash, and gold. Therefore, the original investment mix was 25% of each type of investment. In today&#8217;s conditions the current composition of the fund is 25% precious metals, 10% Swiss franc bonds, 15% real estate and natural resource stocks, 15% aggressive growth stocks, and 35% in government securities such as T-bills. In this way investors funds regardless of what happened in the economy feel more secure. Although with this fund you have to expect a slow and steady growth curve. This type of fund has been proven to gain value steadily over time. We encourage you to try it, if you want to create a fund that is somewhat secure and has steady gains as time goes on. At best, you will have an asset that will have paid out some income at the same time have grown in value with a relatively low-risk investment approach that lets you keep your money over the long-term. It sounds very viable especially in these volatile times when the stock market tends to fluctuate and the stability and strength economy is somewhat unsure, the <strong>permanent portfolio</strong> may work for you.</p>

One of those that fared better was the Permanent Portfolio fund, which has Morningstar&#8217;s top-notch five-star rating. The fund fell 8.4% in 2008, versus a severe 38.5% drop in the S&amp;P 500 index (SPX). And despite its down year, the fund has a five-year annualized return of 6.6%.</p></blockquote>
