"The NCM Enhanced Physical Gold Macro Fund gained over 20% in 2024, and remains highly bullish on gold and silver for 2025 as the macroeconomic risk regime shifts from recession toward inflation."
Executive Summary
Noble Capital Management's Q4 2024 investor letter details a highly successful year for the NCM Enhanced Physical Gold Macro Fund, which concluded 2024 with returns exceeding 20%. The fund was short-listed for the With Intelligence EuroHedge Awards. Performance slightly trailed the price of spot gold due to cautious put hedging and post-election dollar strength, though silver exposure contributed over 3 percentage points. Moving into 2025, the fund focuses on the shift in macroeconomic risks from recession to inflation and overheating under Trump's second term. The managers anticipate a transition of institutional assets from G7 bonds into gold and silver. Identified macro risks to this thesis include continued USD strength, a looming global liquidity squeeze, and a potential reduction in geopolitical premiums if international conflicts are resolved.
