"Horizon navigated a volatile Q2 2025 by aggressively de-risking portfolios via its Risk Assist® algorithm in April, then re-risking to capture a record-speed recovery, finishing the quarter fully invested."
The second quarter of 2025 was marked by extreme volatility in early April, driven by tariff announcements and recession fears, followed by a rapid and historic market recovery. Horizon's Gain, Protect, and Spend strategies actively navigated this environment. The proprietary Risk Assist® algorithm initiated aggressive de-risking in early April but successfully re-allocated capital as markets rebounded, leaving all portfolios fully invested by the end of June. Tactical shifts over the quarter included navigating rotations between high-beta/growth assets and defensive/international allocations across both equity and fixed-income portfolios.
