Quick Take

"Despite entering 2026 after three years of double-digit equity gains, the global market environment remains highly constructive. Persistent fiscal liquidity, massive artificial intelligence productivity enhancements, and attractive non-US valuations offer a resilient backdrop."

Executive Summary

Equities remain fundamentally supported heading into 2026 by fiscal liquidity, potential AI-driven productivity gains, and attractive international valuations, despite three consecutive years of double-digit returns. The year 2025 began with volatility stemming from tariff concerns and Chinese artificial intelligence advancements, but ultimately pivoted to deliver strong market-wide gains. A key driver was the broadening of market performance beyond mega-cap technology names into communication services, industrials, and utilities. Concurrently, a significant decline in the US dollar boosted international developed and emerging markets, rendering non-US assets highly competitive. Furthermore, precious metals surged to record highs, reflecting investor anxiety over currency debasement and soaring public debt. While high valuations and policy transitions represent ongoing risks, the manager emphasizes that historical precedents support the continuation of multi-year equity winning streaks. Consequently, the portfolio maintains a constructive outlook on global equities, leveraging these long-term structural tailwinds.
