"MacNicol & Associates raises a red flag over current 30x P/E multiples on the S&P 500, advising investors to look past AI exuberance and build robust downside protection through dividend payers and uncorrelated alternative funds."
In the July 2025 issue of 'The Quarterly', MacNicol & Associates Asset Management highlights growing valuation risks in the S&P 500, which has reached a 30x P/E ratio. Drawing strong parallels to the dot-com bubble, they caution against unchecked optimism surrounding AI and mega-cap tech stocks like Nvidia. To mitigate these risks, the firm promotes their MacNicol Safe Harbour Fund (SHF) and advises investing in select dividend-paying equities. Additionally, they address the implications of Trump's 2.0 tariffs on real estate development, arguing that locked-in project costs and USMCA lumber exemptions should buffer most current private real estate projects from severe cost overruns.
