"TIFF remains constructive on U.S. equities as the best defense against fiscal deficits and inflation, while maintaining a cautious underweight on bonds and holding short-term put options for seasonal protection."
Executive Summary
In the Q3 2025 CIO Commentary, TIFF Investment Management reaffirms its confidence in U.S. economic exceptionalism, advising that equities remain the ultimate long-term engine for wealth preservation. TIFF points to historical data from countries like Argentina and Turkey to show that equities successfully hedge local currency depreciation. Meanwhile, TIFF warns of rising U.S. fiscal deficits requiring $2T in annual debt issuance, which poses structural risks to bonds and the dollar. Consequently, TIFF is mildly underweight bonds, fully allocated to target equity levels, and holding near-term equity puts to insure against autumn volatility.
