"Despite robust 2025 GDP and equity market gains, Peak Asset Management is taking a highly cautious posture, citing systemic overvaluation and maintaining defensive positions in Treasuries and cash to shield clients from an inevitable correction."
Executive Summary
Peak Asset Management's Q4 2025 client letter reflects on a strong macroeconomic year, with US GDP growing at a 4.5% annual pace and the S&P 500 achieving its third consecutive year of double-digit gains. Despite this strength, Wealth Advisor Noel Bennett issues a warning regarding widespread overvaluation in both equity and residential real estate markets. Drawing on Warren Buffett's historical insights, the letter advocates for a strict focus on intrinsic value rather than momentum. Looking forward, the firm expects volatility surrounding potential changes in Federal Reserve leadership, inflation risks, and contracting manufacturing PMI. To navigate these conditions, Peak reiterates its commitment to a risk-averse asset allocation strategy heavily utilizing Treasury Notes, bond ladders, and cash equivalents.
