"The traditional 60/40 model is dead as stock-bond correlations turn positive under a politicized Fed, establishing gold and precious metals as the ultimate structural safe havens."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, global markets reached all-time highs with all 12 major asset classes ending in positive territory. The NCM Enhanced Physical Gold Macro Fund surged +57% year-to-date, outperforming gold by more than 11 percentage points of alpha. This outperformance was driven by convictions in satellite precious metals (silver and platinum) and FX carry trades. The managers argue that the independence of the Federal Reserve is fundamentally broken as it cuts rates at full employment and tolerates high fiscal deficits. Consequently, U.S. Treasuries no longer provide reliable diversification, establishing gold as the premier and irreplaceable structural safe haven for modern portfolios.
