"Despite worsening US deficits and near-term tariff noise, TIFF remains constructive on the solid US economy and sees a rare, highly opportunistic window to accumulate private equity assets amid valuation dislocations and impending endowment tax shifts."
Executive Summary
TIFF's Q2 2025 commentary addresses a volatile quarter marked by a sharp 18.9% S&P 500 sell-off that has since rebounded. While US fiscal deficits continue to worsen under the proposed 'One Big Beautiful Bill' (expected to add $2.7 trillion to the deficit over 10 years), the underlying economic fundamentals remain robust with a Q2 GDP forecast of 3.4% and CPI cooling to 2.4%. Near-term risks include tariff implementations on July 9, which TIFF expects to be resolved by year-end, and geopolitical concerns in the Middle East. Additionally, the proposed OB3 bill introducing an endowment tax up to 8% is expected to create a highly favorable secondary market environment and increase access to premium private equity and hedge fund managers. TIFF remains aligned with its strategic 65/20/15 allocation and strongly advocates that today represents an exceptionally attractive entry window for long-term private equity investing.
