AdvisorOne features the Merk Hard Currency Fund as one of their Top 5 Alternative Funds

“…

Always the independent thinker, Merk recently told AdvisorOne that investors need to throw out the risk-free component of their portfolio, as there is no such thing as a 'safe' asset anymore.

'Government and central banks have gotten involved to the point where correlation with traditional asset classes is breaking down,' Merk said. 'Investors have huge exposure to the U.S. dollar and are therefore susceptible to U.S. dollar risk. We are applying our currency expertise in an innovative way, providing investors with the opportunity to manage the currency risk of their U.S. equity investments, regardless of the direction of the U.S. dollar.'"
