"Argosy Investors is adopting a more cautious posture due to geopolitical and inflationary risks, trimming cyclical exposure and investing in high-conviction names like Avantor and Floor & Decor alongside a passive Nasdaq allocation."
In this letter dated August 23, 2025, Argosy Investors manager Mike Loeb outlines a cautious market outlook driven by persistent macroeconomic concerns, geopolitical tensions, and ongoing tariff negotiations despite temporary support from federal spending and tax bills. Loeb emphasizes that normalized interest rates and post-COVID recovery dynamics require careful stock selection. The fund has focused its strategy on secular growers experiencing post-COVID valuation resets rather than cyclical businesses with temporary margin expansions. During the quarter, the fund trimmed its position in Trisura (TRRSF) for risk management and exited Fortive (FTV), Vontier (VNT), Diageo (DEO), and StoneCo (STNE) due to shifting business dynamics and capital reallocation needs. New long positions were established in Avantor (AVTR), reflecting expectations of a biotech industry recovery and management changes, and Floor & Decor (FND), following a valuation drop that priced in historical growth. Additionally, the fund initiated a position in the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) to gain passive exposure to technology innovation. Ultimately, Loeb expects further economic contraction and inflationary risks, leading to a portfolio posture focused on reducing cyclicality and overall exposure.
