    I think it's pretty impressive that he anticipates questions about the portfolio and sort of preemptively answers them. That said, right now the holdings are nearly all Asia, mixed cap, dividend oriented, some bonds and preferreds ... kind of reminiscent of, um, another fund many of us here own or have owned in the past. (He anticipates the obvious question there, too.) The fund's probably going to be a work in progress for a while.
  • Nice! The Seafarer fund is available now NTF at Vanguard.
