"Troy Asset Management is raising alarm bells over dotcom-like speculative excesses in the AI sector, leading them to trim holdings in Microsoft, Alphabet, and gold while rotating capital into out-of-favor defensive equities."
Marking Troy Asset Management's 25th anniversary, the co-managers note striking parallels between the current AI-driven market and the 2000 dotcom bubble, citing extreme S&P 500 concentration (top 10 stocks > 40%) and high Shiller CAPE valuations (~40x). Consequently, Troy has reduced holdings in Microsoft and Alphabet to avoid capital misallocation and trimmed gold at $3,300/oz and $4,000/oz after its massive run. Conversely, the managers have increased equity allocations to unloved, high-quality defensive sectors like consumer staples and healthcare, anticipating strong relative performance when the market inevitably pivots back to fundamental cash-flow realities.
