"The firm is tactically reducing equity exposure by 5% and locking in bond yields as the market faces rich valuations (22x P/E) and policy uncertainty from the incoming Trump administration, while selectively rotating capital into financials and healthcare."
Executive Summary
Andrew Hill Investment Advisors' Q4 2024 letter reviews strong year-to-date equity returns driven by AI and clean energy holdings (NVDA, GEV, CEG, GRMN). Facing a changing political landscape and rising long-term interest rates (10-Year Treasury yield hovering at 4.5% and potentially heading to 5%), the firm has adopted a more cautious tactical stance. It has trimmed its equity exposure by approximately 5% due to a technical 'sell' signal from the Put/Call ratio and rich market valuations (S&P 500 trading at 22x 2025 earnings). Proceeds are being channeled into high-quality bond ladders. Position-wise, the firm has increased exposure to financials (GS) due to expected deregulation and M&A tailwinds, while adding defensive quality in healthcare (JNJ, UTHR). Major risk factors outlined include rumored tariffs (10% to 60%) and potential labor disruptions from immigration policies.
