"Matrix reports a strong Q2 performance across its strategies but is actively reducing balanced portfolio equity exposure to a modest overweight, citing elevated valuations and persistent policy-driven market volatility."
In its 2nd Quarter 2025 report, Matrix Asset Advisors outlines a volatile but ultimately positive quarter where the stock market rebounded from sharp April tariff-related pullbacks to finish strongly. Both the Large Cap Value and Dividend Income strategies performed well, participating in the market's recovery. Despite positive economic backdrops like a 4.1% unemployment rate, the manager highlights risks including high stock valuations, tariff policy uncertainties, and downward earnings revisions. Consequently, Matrix has trimmed its large equity overweight in balanced portfolios in favor of fixed income, which offers better relative value. Key portfolio activity included initiating positions in Applied Materials (AMAT) and Fiserv (FI), while fully exiting UnitedHealth Group (UNH) and Pfizer (PFE) due to deteriorating fundamentals.
