"Mathew Hermary highlights a fundamental regime shift away from overvalued US mega-cap tech toward international value, old-economy cyclicals, and selective active opportunities where margins of safety remain robust."
In the Q4 2025 Market Letter, Chief Investment Officer Mathew Hermary outlines a major inflection point in global equity markets. While global equities marked a third consecutive year of double-digit gains, underlying leadership shifted away from US mega-cap tech toward international and Canadian markets. Beneficiaries of this shift include the physical 'picks & shovels' of AI (e.g., Samsung Electronics, Finning, and Caterpillar) as well as financials and materials. High index concentration and elevated valuations in the S&P 500 suggest a challenging path forward for passive investors, characterized by lower future returns and higher volatility. Consequently, QV Investors is positioning its portfolios in active, high-conviction value holdings across transport (CNR, UNP), energy infrastructure (Topaz Energy), and selective turnaround narratives (Dollar General), while maintaining a conservative posture in fixed income.
