"Stenham delivered solid low-beta performance in 2025 but adopts a cautious stance for 2026, balancing positive US economic fiscal/monetary stimuli against critical geopolitical risks and a potential AI valuation bubble."
Stenham Asset Management's Q4 2025 Investment Letter highlights a strong close to 2025, with portfolios achieving high single-digit to low double-digit returns for the year while maintaining very low correlation to general markets. Looking ahead, the US economy benefits from robust near-term tailwinds including interest rate cuts, tax relief under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and massive data center investments. However, these positive drivers are heavily balanced by unprecedented geopolitical friction and systemic risks surrounding AI technology. Specifically, hyperscalers are spending unsustainably high capex on AI that has yet to prove broad commercial monetization, creating structural bubble risks. Consequently, Stenham is maintaining current allocations to discretionary macro strategies, reducing exposure to highly directional equity managers, and focusing heavily on securing capacity with top-tier, low-beta, and market-neutral managers.
