"Investors should utilize broad global diversification to capture key secular trends like AI rather than chasing highly concentrated mega-caps."
Executive Summary
The manager reviews the strong performance of global markets in 2025, which finished the year on a highly constructive note despite notable challenges including historic tariff increases, elevated geopolitical risks, and a temporary US federal government shutdown. Global equities recorded robust returns, with non-US developed and emerging market benchmarks leading the advance due to a weaker US dollar and broadening market participation beyond technology mega-caps. In the fixed income market, short-dated sovereign bills and corporate bonds delivered positive returns, outperforming long-duration bonds as yield curves steepened. Looking ahead to 2026, the manager maintains a positive, optimistic outlook, expecting further growth opportunities across diverse regions, market caps, and sectors. To capture these gains while navigating short-term volatility, the manager continues to advocate for a globally diversified, multi-asset portfolio strategy supported by disciplined rebalancing and active, targeted tilts toward undervalued, high-quality asset classes.
