"Grey Owl All-Season returned +11.4% in 2025 and has shifted into a more aggressive growth posture for early 2026, favoring small-cap equities and commodities while scaling back cash and fixed income to 16%."
Executive Summary
The Grey Owl All-Season Strategy (GOAS) delivered a +11.4% return for the full year 2025, successfully managing early-year volatility (limiting drawdowns to under -3% when mega-cap tech fell -30%) and capitalizating on the subsequent risk-on recovery. Entering 2026, the fund has adopted a more aggressive stance, cutting cash and fixed income from 28% to 16% in favor of small-caps, emerging markets, precious metals, and commodities. This rebalancing is supported by growth acceleration and disinflation trends projected through the first half of 2026, alongside market internals showing an expanding breadth of stocks trading near 52-week highs.
