"Despite Q2 underperformance due to persistent growth stock momentum, the fund is positioning for a significant value rotation backed by deteriorating free cash flows in mega-cap tech and historically wide valuation gaps."
During Q2 2025, the S&P 500 rose 10.9% while the Russell 1000 Value rose 3.8%. The Enhanced Equity Income strategy underperformed its benchmarks, returning -1.2% net due to its strong value bias as momentum/growth sectors outperformed. The fund active rotated its portfolio, purchasing PCAR, PPG, COP, and NSC while exiting or trimming DOW, CVX, JCI, and RTX. The manager highlights that the Magnificent 7 (ex-NVDA) are experiencing an 11% year-over-year decline in free cash flow due to massive AI-related CapEx. This stands in sharp contrast to growth's 130% valuation premium over value, creating what the manager views as a highly compelling entry point for defensive value and dividend strategies.
