"Carrington added to US and Chinese equity holdings during Q4, while maintaining a cautious stance on stretched US valuations and utilizing short-duration bonds and gold to protect against persistent inflation risks."
Executive Summary
Carrington Wealth Management reviews the final quarter and full year of 2024, noting a surprisingly resilient year dominated by S&P 500 gains (+25%) driven by AI infrastructure spending and the 'Magnificent 7'. Trump's election victory prompted an initial stock market rally but pressured bond markets due to inflation and tariff concerns. In response, Carrington increased exposure to US equities with caution regarding valuation limits, and selectively built positions in undervalued Chinese equities anticipating future stimulus. Conversely, they avoided direct European exposure due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and focused core fixed-income holdings on short-term investment-grade bonds.
