Short-Term Treasury Portfolio Class I (PRTBX) is a mutual fund that seeks to earn high current income consistent with the safety and liquidity of principal by investing at least 80% of its assets in direct debt obligations of the United States Treasury, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, as well as other securities issued by the U.S. Treasury; the remainder may be invested in U.S. government agency securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, sponsored enterprises, or instrumentalities. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration of zero to three years, emphasizing minimal volatility through securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and high liquidity for investor access without early withdrawal penalties. Launched in 1987 as part of the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, which was established in 1982, PRTBX is managed by Pacific Heights Asset Management, LLC, and headquartered in San Francisco, California, with operations focused on U.S. investors in the ultrashort bond segment. In March 2025, the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, including its flagship Permanent Portfolio fund, received three LSEG Lipper Fund Awards recognizing consistently strong risk-adjusted performance over multiple periods relative to peers, highlighting the firm's ongoing success amid challenging market conditions such as inflation, elevated interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty. The fund continues to operate under a contractual advisory fee waiver through June 1, 2026, limiting the management fee to 0.625% of average daily net assets, resulting in a net expense ratio of 0.65% for Class I shares, with total net assets of approximately $12 million as of recent data.
