"Standard Wealth generated a stellar 20.3% return in 2025 but has adopted a defensive, cautious posture for 2026 due to extreme equity valuations, structural inflation risks, and overextended expectations for AI monetization."
In his January 7, 2026 investor letter, Fred Mannix highlights that the Standard Wealth strategy concluded 2025 with a 20.3% net-of-fees gain. Despite a strong year for global equities driven by technology earnings, Mannix urges caution. The S&P 500's trailing P/E ratio sits at 31.3, well above its 10-year average of 21.6. Structural economic pressures, including over five years of above-target inflation and $38 trillion in U.S. federal debt, pose risks to fixed income. Additionally, the letter expresses skepticism about the linear monetization of the Magnificent 7's projected $520 billion AI capex program in 2026. Standard Wealth is defensively positioned with allocations to gold, arbitrage, and hedged strategies to remain resilient in the face of potential market corrections and seize opportunistic entry points.
