"Century Management is underweight expensive mega-cap tech and heavily overweight Energy and Materials/Gold to protect against structural inflation and high government debt."
Executive Summary
Century Management presents a detailed portfolio review for its CM Value I Composite, emphasizing major deviations from the S&P 500 Index. The fund is heavily overweight in Energy (14.73% vs 2.78%) and Materials including gold (12.63% vs 1.68%), while completely avoiding Consumer Discretionary. The firm highlights gold as a critical structural inflation and debt hedge, and discusses how the AI-driven data center buildout serves as a major long-term catalyst for natural gas. While acknowledging high valuation multiples in large tech, Century Management distinguishes today's mega-caps from the 2000 dot-com bubble due to their actual free cash flows. They remain cautious about zero-revenue story stocks, keep fixed-income duration very short, and stand prepared for potential market volatility or temporary government shutdown disruptions, which they view as buying opportunities.
