"NS Partners advises caution on high-flying US mega-cap tech and crypto, warning of inflationary risks from incoming US policies. The firm recommends rotating into cheaper, uncrowded areas like Japan, US mid/small caps, and select European sectors."
The Q4 2024 Quarterly Investment Review by NS Partners, written by James Macpherson, discusses the financial market trends of 2024, highlighting the strong returns in US equity markets led by giant tech companies, a historic fourth year of decline for the US bond market, and a massive 120% surge in bitcoin. The US presidential election dominated the final quarter, with Donald Trump's sweep of Congress and the popular vote driving expectations of deregulation and tax cuts. However, the report cautions about potential inflationary pressures from proposed protectionist tariffs, immigration curbs, and a ballooning national debt of $36 trillion (6% of GDP). It also explores the appointment of Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), targeting $2 trillion in federal budget cuts. Amid rising global political instability and unsustainable sovereign debt levels in the West, notably in the UK and Europe, NS Partners suggests reducing exposure to frothy areas like crypto and mega-cap US tech. Instead, the firm advocates diversifying into less crowded, more attractively priced areas including US mid/small-caps, Japanese equities, and selective opportunities in Europe and Emerging Markets where uncertainty is already priced in.
