Also, some of my better ideas have come from Hedge Fund managers, so perhaps this change in terminology will better convey the strategy. Although I’ll be updating the performance numbers for all of our models at the end of the quarter, the Hedge Portfolio performance is as follows through 2/21/2013: Since inception 5/26/2010: +17.00% One year: +6.46% YTD: +1.69% Top 5 Holdings and their weights: - Powershares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund: 10%  - Grant Park Managed Futures Fund: 10% - Permanent Portfolio: 10% - iShares Silver ETF: 10% - Primero Mining Corp: 9% |   |   |   | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Symbol](https://www.folioinstitutional.com/servlets/ProcessAction?identifier=IAmyModelsPortal&sortBy=ticker&sortByLast=securityValue&sortByLastDirection=backward&query.key=F9A0109200L07) | [Security](https://www.folioinstitutional.com/servlets/ProcessAction?identifier=IAmyModelsPortal&sortBy=companyName&sortByLast=securityValue&sortByLastDirection=backward&query.key=F9A0109200L07) |   | [Last Trade](https://www.folioinstitutional.com/servlets/ProcessAction?identifier=IAmyModelsPortal&sortBy=lastTrade&sortByLast=securityValue&sortByLastDirection=backward&query.key=F9A0109200L07) |   | [Weight](https://www.folioinstitutional.com/servlets/ProcessAction?identifier=IAmyModelsPortal&sortBy=proportion&sortByLast=securityValue&sortByLastDirection=backward&query.key=F9A0109200L07) |   |   |   | [Percent](https://www.folioinstitutional.com/servlets/ProcessAction?identifier=IAmyModelsPortal&sortBy=percentChangeSincePurchase&sortByLast=securityValue&sortByLastDirection=backward&query.key=F9A0109200L07)Gain or loss Since Purchase | | DBV | POWERSHARES DB G10 Currency Fund |   | $26.87 |   | 10.09 |   |   |   | 14.74% | | GPFIX | Grant Park Managed Futures |   | $9.38 |   | 9.87 |   |   |   | (3.19%) | | PRPFX | PERMANENT FUND |   | $48.44 |   | 9.82 |   |   |   | 19.52% | | SLV | ISHARES SILVER TRUST |   | $27.70 |   | 9.44 |   |   |   | 32.73% | | PPP | PRIMERO MNG CORP |   | $5.72 |   | 8.66 |   |   |   | 19.76% | ### Sign up to receive our blog posts ### Recent Posts ### Artifex Folios Portfolio Information [![](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/hubfs/Images/logoNAPFA.gif)](http://napfa.org)[![Click for the BBB Business Review of this Financial Planning Consultants in Dayton OH](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/hubfs/Images/blue-seal-200-42-artifexfinancialgroupllc-4430.png)](http://www.bbb.org/dayton/business-reviews/financial-planning-consultants/artifex-financial-group-in-dayton-oh-4430#sealclick) [![](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/hubfs/Images/277913a6-258d-4ad9-960f-bd135d90d7df-1.png)](http://437a158b-19c6-435f-bee3-e85877009a64.mobapp.at?src=banners&p={t:180x150@64}) ### Quick Links - [Home](http://www.artifexfinancial.com) - [Contact](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/contact/) - [About Us](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/about-us/) - [Blog](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com) - [Wealth Management](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/wealth-management/) - [Personal Financial Planning](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/personal-financial-planning/) - [Artifex ESG Impact Investing](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/esg) - [Free Financial Planning Tools](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/free-financial-planning-tools/1) - [Client Login](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/client-login/-0) - [Compliance](http://www.artifexfinancial.com/compliance/-0) ### Contact Us **Artifex Financial Group** **Phone** 855-PLAN OHIO ( 855-752-6644 ) **Dayton Office** The Oakwood Building 2305 Far Hills Avenue, Suite 206 Oakwood, OH 45419 [Location map »](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/locations#map-oakwood) **Cincinnati Office** Kenwood Center 8044 Montgomery Rd Suite 700 Cincinnati, OH  45236 [Location map »](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/locations#map-cincinnati) **Columbus Office** Versa 1201 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 [Location map »  ](https://www.artifexfinancial.com/locations/#map-columbus) **Los Angeles Office**WeWork Pacific Design Center - Red Building 700 N San Vicente Blvd, 7th Floor Los Angeles, CA. 90069 [Location map »  ](https://www.artifexfinancial.com/locations/#map-losangeles) [![](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/hubfs/Images/iconsSocialFacebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artifex-Financial-Group-LLC/331487015638)[![](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/hubfs/Images/iconsSocialTwitter.png)](https://twitter.com/artifexfg) [Privacy Statement and Legal Terms](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/privacy/) | [Disclaimer](https://blog.artifexfinancial.com/disclaimer/) | [Compliance](https://www.artifexfinancial.com/compliance/-0) [FINRA](http://www.finra.org/) and [SIPC](http://www.sipc.org) © 2006 - 2026 Artifex Financial Group.
