"Troy Asset Management warns of dotcom-style AI excesses and historic S&P 500 concentration. The fund is defensively positioned, trimming positions in Microsoft and Alphabet, taking profits in gold, and selectively buying unloved consumer staples and healthcare."
Troy Asset Management marks its 25th anniversary by identifying deep speculative echoes of the 2000 dotcom bubble in today's AI-driven stock market. The managers highlight unprecedented S&P 500 concentration (top 10 stocks over 40% of the index) and an alarming Shiller CAPE ratio near 40x. They express skepticism over massive AI-related capex ($90bn last quarter), warning that unlike the 1990s fiber-optic boom, AI capital is flowing into short-lived semiconductors subject to rapid depreciation and obsolescence. In response, Troy has reduced holdings in Microsoft and Alphabet, increased allocations to unloved defensive sectors (consumer staples and healthcare), and locked in profits on its long-term gold positions at $3,300/oz and $4,000/oz, while maintaining gold as a cornerstone hedge against ongoing global currency dilution and sovereign debt unsustainability.
