The idea
I believe the dollar keeps losing purchasing power while the country just keeps printing to cover its bills, and at the same time an aging population means fewer workers supporting more retirees for decades to come. So half this basket sits in things that hold value against a weaker currency: bitcoin, gold, gold miners, and energy producers and land. The other half leans into the aging trend through automation, senior housing and care, and medical devices, while avoiding drugmakers likely to face government price pressure.
What it owns
