"Troy Multi-Asset Strategy delivered a 9-10% return in 2025, maintaining a defensive and cautious stance by reducing dollar exposure, keeping bond duration low, and holding gold and cash amid AI-driven market concentration and persistent inflation."
In Investment Report No.87, Troy Asset Management discusses the portfolio's performance, delivering returns of around 9-10% for the 2025 calendar year. The managers highlight the strong performance of gold, which returned +65% in dollars, and their strategic reduction of US dollar exposure from 25% to 8% following geopolitical shifts. They express concern over extreme market concentration in the US, where the top 10% of stocks represent 78% of market capitalisation, driven by an AI narrative with unproven enterprise monetization. Consequently, they maintain a defensive posture with just over 40% in equities, short-duration index-linked bonds (favouring UK Linkers over US TIPS), a 10% position in short-dated Japanese government bonds, and 20% in liquidity to exploit future volatility.
