"TEAM Asset Management favors ex-US equities and precious metals as portfolio shields, while avoiding long-duration sovereign bonds amid ballooning global deficits."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, TEAM Asset Management navigated a complex macroeconomic environment characterized by a record 43-day US federal government shutdown and escalating sovereign debt crises across the US, UK, and Europe. Despite these challenges, US equity markets reached record highs, though signs of fatigue emerged in the 'Magnificent 7' tech giants amid rising skepticism over the viability of massive AI capital expenditures. In contrast, international ex-US equities (Japan, Europe, and emerging Asia) showed relative outperformance. Fixed income strategy was defined by a cautious stance on long-duration sovereign bonds, choosing to focus on short and intermediate corporate debt (the 'belly' of the curve). Physical gold and silver, alongside precious metal mining stocks, remain high-conviction holds for portfolio insurance, with silver benefiting additionally from a severe structural supply deficit and its inclusion on the US Critical Minerals List.
