Quick Take

"T. Bailey's multi-asset funds target diversification across undervalued assets, particularly UK equities trading at historic discounts and gold as an inflation hedge."

Executive Summary

T. Bailey's multi-asset funds delivered mixed Q4 2024 performance, with gains ranging from 5.5% to 8.5% for the full year. The core thesis centers on diversification across high-quality assets priced for more challenging conditions than may materialize. Key return drivers include exposure to undervalued UK equities trading at wide discounts to history and other regions, gold as a portfolio diversifier benefiting from accommodative monetary policy, and positioning for broadening US earnings beyond the Magnificent 7 concentration. The manager maintains prudent exposure to expensive US markets while capitalizing on AI themes expanding into Healthcare, Insurance, and Industrials. Primary risks include persistent inflation, potential for higher long-term borrowing rates, and geopolitical uncertainty from deglobalisation trends. Portfolio positioning emphasizes alternatives like absolute return funds as volatility buffers, REIT exposure anticipating interest rate cuts, and tactical equal-weighted S&P 500 exposure. The outlook remains constructive on diversified positioning given policy uncertainty, with funds well-positioned for various economic scenarios through broad exposure to different return sources.
