Overview
The Golden Butterfly Portfolio is built on the idea of economic risk parity, similar to the Permanent Portfolio which shares four of its five assets. But while the Permanent Portfolio equally balances prosperity, recession, inflation, and deflation, the Golden Butterfly tilts the assets towards prosperity with an additional allocation to small cap value.
While to some that may seem like a trendy choice destined to underperform, the data reveals a remarkable truth. The Golden Butterfly is one of the best risk-adjusted portfolios out there, pairing the famous consistency of the Permanent Portfolio and the growth rates of far more aggressive options. With a tight band of growth paths that are helpful for future estimates and notably high withdrawal rates that are great for retirees, it’s a particularly dependable portfolio option suitable for both accumulators and retirees alike.
