"Auxier Focus Fund delivered a 5.35% return in Q3 2025, riding strong tailwinds in AI tech infrastructure and global defense while issuing a stark warning against growing speculative lending and unprofitable stock market excesses."
Auxier Focus Fund's Investor Class gained 5.35% in Q3 2025. The broader market was lifted by a pause in punitive tariffs, robust AI capital spending, and a surge in defense outlays. Despite these positives, lead manager Jeff Auxier warns of substantial risks in the market, including unregulated shadow banking, high-leverage buyouts (e.g., EA at 27x operating cash flow), and speculative zero-revenue startups (e.g., Oklo). Margin debt is nearing historic highs. Top contributors to the fund include tech infrastructure (Corning, Microsoft, Alphabet), defense (RTX, General Dynamics), and heavy machinery (Caterpillar). Consumer-facing sectors and alcohol struggled as detractors due to inflation, tariffs, and demographic pressures on younger buyers.
