About TPDCX
Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide stability and capital preservation, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The fund employs a multi-asset approach, allocating investments across asset classes such as real estate, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs), cash and cash equivalents, and commodities. Notably, it distinguishes itself by holding physical gold bullion, a rare feature among mutual funds, which aims to protect value during high inflation or market turbulence. The fund’s strategy focuses on dynamically adjusting its portfolio allocations in response to evolving market conditions, with recent emphasis on inflation-protected securities and cash while keeping exposure to real estate investment trusts and commodities lower. Its objective is to offer investors a defensive investment option that can adapt to rapidly changing economic environments, prioritizing preservation of principal and reducing the impact of adverse financial events. The fund is categorized within the global moderate allocation space, balancing the goals of income and moderate capital appreciation while seeking to minimize risk during market volatility.
