Craig Rowland is the co-author of the most comprehensive book on the Permanent Portfolio. It was written in 2012 and is called “The Permanent Portfolio: Harry Browne’s Long Term Investment Strategy” He is a software entrepreneur who sold a company to Cisco Systems, worked for the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations, and he is the founder of Sandfly Security, an agentless Linus security solution. The Permanent Portfolio is a low-volatility investment approach that was developed by Harry Browne. The genius is in its simplicity – the portfolio is 25% Stocks, 25% Gold, 25% Long Term Treasuries, and 25% Cash. The portfolio is ideal to limit drawdowns. In 2008, for instance, the stock market declined by 37% and this portfolio was down only 2%. During the COVID crash, this portfolio was down 2% while the stock market was down by 20%.
