About PRTBX

Permanent Portfolio Short-Term Treasury Portfolio Class I is an open‑end mutual fund focused on high current income while emphasizing safety and liquidity of principal. The strategy invests at least 80% of assets in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury—such as Treasury bills, notes, and bonds—with the balance typically allocated to U.S. government agency securities, maintaining a short, zero‑to‑three‑year maturity and duration profile to limit interest‑rate sensitivity. The portfolio’s mandate anchors it within the ultrashort bond segment, aiming to provide minimal volatility and ready access to capital relative to longer‑duration fixed income. Management highlights liquidity features and the full faith and credit backing of U.S. government securities as core attributes. The fund traces its origins to 1987, having adopted its current name in 2010, and is part of a broader family designed around capital preservation and steady income objectives. Recent disclosures indicate a contractual advisory fee waiver supporting a net expense ratio of 0.65% through June 1, 2026, and performance reporting that reflects the conservative return profile typical of short‑term Treasury strategies.
