This plan adds two more ETFs: Vanguard Europe Pacific ETF VEA and Vanguard Emerging Market Stocks VWO to the aggressive growth stock category. Each of VTI, VEU, VWO is allocated 5% of the portfolio. This is a global version of Permanent Portfolio ETF Plan (a US centric plan). Please refer to Permanent Global Portfolio ETF Version for the static version.

This plan uses ETFs to mimic the Permanent Portfolio mutual fund PRPFX holdings: GLD, SLV, FXF, IGE, IYR, VTI, LQD, SHY, IEF. See a lazy portfolio Permanent Portfolio Fund ETF Version for static version. 

We take PRPFX's allocaiton based on its recent report

Gold  20%, Silver    5%

Swiss Franc Assets 10%

U.S. and Foreign Real Estate and Natural Resource Stocks 15%

Aggressive Growth Stocks 15%

U.S. Treasury Bills, Bonds and Other Dollar Assets 35%

The following is the original Harry Browne's permanent portfolio: 

In his Fail-Safe Investing book, Harry Browne proposed this one size fit all portfolio that he called 'permanent portfolio'. His theory has been discussed in numerous articles like this. A mutual fund PRPFX was constucted and named after his theory. The following consists of the portfolio's components.

  • 25% in U.S. stocks, to provide a strong return during times of prosperity. For this portion of the portfolio, Browne recommends a basic S&P 500 index fund such as VFINX.
  • 25% in long-term U.S. Treasury bonds for deflation protection.  
  • 25% in cash in order to hedge against periods of “tight money” or recession. In this case, “cash” means a money-market fund.
  •  25% in precious metals (gold, specifically) in order to provide protection during periods of inflation. Browne recommends gold bullion coins.

We use VFINX, VUSTX, VFITX, VFISX, CASH and GLD for the above components. Investors can compare the model portfolios in this plan with this static portfolio.
