What is the Tarpon Folio?
Our portfolio manager has nearly all of his family’s life savings invested in the Tarpon Folio. The Tarpon Folio is an innovative, investor-friendly alternative to the traditional actively managed mutual fund. It’s built on a model we call a Spoke Fund ®. It is more transparent, takes more concentrated positions and is significantly less expensive than the vast majority of mutual funds. The portfolio is managed for long-term growth using value investing principles. Fees are 1.25% of assets annually, assessed on a monthly basis. Turnover, taxes and trading are minimized in the fund, and investors can customize their accounts in several key ways, including tax preference. Each Tarpon Folio account is also protected by three types of insurance for a maximum of up to $11.5 million. Here is a brochure on the Tarpon Folio, and more info can be found on this webpage. This table also compares the Tarpon Folio with a mutual fund.
