I review the performance of our Super-Diversification investment strategy for the current quarter, year-to-date, and provide a longer-term perspective as well. I highlight those investments (asset classes) that helped performance and those that did not, compare the portfolio performance to a more traditional portfolio's performance, and touch on the overall market's performance and environment.
