: Hi, Fundmentals.

: NCHPX is a fund of hedgy mutual funds. The link you provided describes their portfolio and its underlying allocation assumptions. The fund is small, reasonably successful (down 22% last year, up about 17% this year) and reasonably expensive (around 2% plus a 2% redemption fee). For what interest it holds, I've linked my original profile of the fund below.

: As ever,
