"Fortress funds faced a weaker Q4 due to cautious central bank rate outlooks and election-related currency shifts, but the manager remains highly constructive on cheaper international and Caribbean equities over expensive U.S. large-caps."
Fortress Fund Managers reported that the Fortress funds experienced weaker performance in Q4 2024 following a strong third quarter, primarily driven by rising interest rate expectations ('higher for longer') and currency headwind pressures post-U.S. election. Despite the quarterly decline—with the flagship Caribbean Growth Fund falling 5.0% in Q4—the funds posted positive gains for the full year 2024 (up 1.4%). The manager highlights that U.S. large-cap equities are increasingly expensive at 22x forward earnings, and strongly advocates for global diversification, emphasizing highly attractive valuations in international, emerging, and Caribbean markets.
