"TEAM enters 2025 positively positioned from a risk perspective, holding overweight allocations in equities and gold, while remaining underweight and skeptical of long-term government bonds due to structural inflation risks."
The fourth quarter of 2024 was marked by the dramatic re-ignition of investor 'animal spirits' following Donald Trump's historic US presidential comeback victory. This political outcome sparked a massive post-election rally, driving a surge in the US dollar and American risk assets, particularly US mega-cap technology and growth stocks. Investors responded favorably to anticipated policies such as corporate tax cuts, looser regulatory environments, and faster earnings growth under a unified Republican government. On the monetary front, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell adopted a more hawkish stance in December, indicating that US inflation was moving sideways rather than downwards and dampening expectations for extensive interest rate cuts in 2025. Across the Atlantic, Europe experienced severe political and economic instability as coalition governments collapsed in both Germany and France, while the UK's autumn budget disappointed markets with significant national insurance hikes. During this period, developed market equities rose +6.6% overall, with the S&P 500 rising +9.44%. TEAM Asset Management maintained an overweight position in equities entering 2025, utilizing a 'barbell' approach that highlights US mega-caps as core holdings alongside physical gold as essential insurance against systemic debt debasement.
