"While mega-cap tech concentration caused the fund to lag benchmarks in 2025, a historic 100% Growth-to-Value valuation gap and falling interest rates set up high-dividend value equities for a massive performance catch-up in 2026."
Schafer Cullen's Enhanced Equity Income strategy experienced a challenging 2025, returning 7.5% net for the year versus the S&P 500 Buy-Write Index's 8.9% and the S&P 500's 17.9%, primarily driven by extreme market concentration in a few AI-driven tech mega-caps. Despite near-record narrow market breadth, the manager highlights a highly favorable macro and valuation setup for high-dividend value strategies moving into 2026. Growth stocks currently trade at a 100% premium to value, and a massive cash pile of nearly $8T in money market funds is poised to rotate into high-yield equities as the Fed continues its rate-cutting cycle. Portfolio adjustments this quarter included purchasing Qualcomm (QCOM), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), and Union Pacific (UNP), while liquidating fully-valued or structurally challenged positions in JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Kenvue (KVUE), and Norfolk Southern (NSC).
