Quiet Compounding holds four strategies at 25% each and rebalances once a year. Since 2003 it has compounded at 16.1% with a worst drawdown of 6.8%. More interesting than either number: the blend beats every one of its own components on every risk-adjusted measure I track.

All Weather, the Permanent Portfolio and the Golden Butterfly all took the worst drawdown of their entire recorded history in the same month. Not 2008. Not 2002. September 2022. That one fact is most of what separates them from the one I built.

I track seven Keller & Keuning strategies on the same engine that runs my own. So the obvious question is how Triad does against them. Two of them beat it on raw return over the full record, and the family owned the first three decades. Since 2000, none of them come close on risk-adjusted return.
