"BAM remains cautious about inflationary US tariff policies but is highly constructive on bottom-up value positions, highlighting regulatory catalysts for UK banks and strategic preferred stock reallocations."
Executive Summary
BAM’s Q2 2025 letter critiques the US administration's escalating tariff policies, comparing their potential long-term damage to Brexit. On the portfolio level, international names like PTSB, TIGO, and MTRO are showing positive performance. A major regulatory proposal by the Bank of England to raise MREL thresholds is highlighted as a powerful catalyst for Metro Bank (MTRO). The letter addresses a major accounting scandal at CODI's Lugano subsidiary, detailing BAM's decision to tax-loss sell CODI common shares and buy high-yielding preferred shares. Finally, they strongly endorse Charter's (CHTR) acquisition of Cox Communications as a highly accretive, value-creating transaction.
