Quick Take

"International small and value stocks led performance in Q2 2025 despite trade policy volatility that caused a 10% market drop and recovery. Dollar weakness boosted international returns."

Executive Summary

During Q2 2025, international small and value stocks were the best performing asset classes, with the S&P 500 returning 10.94% despite significant volatility. The quarter was marked by a dramatic 10% market decline in April following President Trump's announcement of broader tariffs targeting major U.S. trading partners, followed by a swift recovery after a 90-day tariff pause was announced. International stocks benefited from an 11% decline in the U.S. dollar, which provided a tailwind for companies earning in foreign currencies. Looking ahead, markets face uncertainty from trade negotiations, potential tax legislation, anticipated interest rate cuts, and artificial intelligence developments. The manager emphasizes that diversification remains the best defense against unpredictable market events, with this year providing ample evidence of that principle. The firm maintains confidence in their diversified approach as the optimal strategy for navigating continued market volatility and policy uncertainty.
