"Pernas Portfolio delivered a strong 19.3% return in Q2, heavily outperforming the S&P 500. The fund is constructive on European equity rotation and pro-growth domestic tax revisions, despite deep concerns about rising US sovereign deficits."
Pernas Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 by over 800bps in Q2 2025, posting a 19.3% return (10.5% YTD). The broader market witnessed a historically fast recovery from its intra-year drawdown, driven by compressed risk premiums and the passage of the OBBB (One Big, Beautiful Bill) at the beginning of Q3. While OBBB introduces highly pro-growth features like 100% R&D expensing, it drastically worsens the US long-term fiscal outlook by expanding the national deficit. Simultaneously, European large-caps (via VGK) have delivered historical outperformance against the S&P 500, benefiting from robust earnings, easier monetary policy, and USD depreciation, emphasizing the value of unhedged international diversification.
