"Ameliora emphasizes precious metals and defense spending themes while maintaining disciplined selectivity in AI investments."
Executive Summary
Ameliora Wealth Management navigated Q3 2025 with a cautiously optimistic stance amid continued market gains and low volatility. The S&P 500 gained 7% while the Nasdaq surged 11%, reaching fresh all-time highs. The firm maintains gold as their largest position, benefiting from a 45% year-to-date gain driven by monetary policy uncertainty and sovereign debt concerns. They complemented this with silver exposure and established positions in defense contractors via SHLD ETF, capitalizing on rising global defense spending amid escalating geopolitical tensions. While acknowledging AI as a transformational theme requiring vast data center investments, they remain highly selective given stretched valuations. The firm draws parallels to the late-1990s tech bubble, emphasizing discipline by focusing on companies with robust balance sheets and strong cash flow generation. European equities have outperformed US markets, supported by attractive valuations and Germany's fiscal stimulus. Looking ahead, they maintain a neutral equity stance while remaining cautious on longer-dated bonds given persistent inflation above Fed targets.
