"Muhlenkamp is adopting a cautious, patient stance, holding cash to deploy into potential recession bargains while riding a 25% YTD surge in its gold-related investments amid flat macro indicators."
In their July 2025 Quarterly Letter, Muhlenkamp & Company details a largely stagnant macroeconomic picture for Q2. Key metrics like U.S. inflation (2.4%), U-3 unemployment (4.2%), the 10-year Treasury yield (4.24%), and the Federal Reserve's target rate (4.25% - 4.50%) remain unchanged over recent months, while the S&P 500 has recovered its March-May dip. Amid dramatic political and global headlines, the only significant portfolio shift has been a ~25% YTD surge in gold, benefiting the fund's gold-related holdings. Due to weak economic data and tariff-related volatility, the portfolio managers are keeping their commentary brief, holding cash to capitalize on possible recession-driven bargains, and continuing to exit disappointing companies while maintaining their gold exposure.
