Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"TEAM capitalized on Trump-driven US market euphoria through concentrated Magnificent 7 technology exposure, delivering strong Q4 returns. Manager maintains barbell strategy with US mega-cap growth as core, benefiting from American exceptionalism theme and dollar strength."

Executive Summary

TEAM Asset Management delivered strong Q4 2024 performance driven by US mega-cap technology exposure, particularly the Magnificent 7 stocks that returned 67% collectively. The Trump election victory reignited animal spirits, driving euphoric post-election trading in US dollar and risk assets on expectations of looser regulation, lower corporate taxes, and AI-driven productivity gains. Manager maintains barbell approach with US mega-cap growth as core and ex-US equities as satellites, benefiting from 7% dollar appreciation versus sterling. Key portfolio strengths included US technology, physical gold, infrastructure equities, and Asia semiconductor exposure. Detractors were European equities, UK assets, and global mining stocks. Fed Chair Powell's hawkish December stance suggesting fewer 2025 rate cuts created market dispersion. Political chaos in Europe with German and French government collapses further drove capital to US markets. TEAM enters 2025 with overweight equity allocations, maintaining systematic investment process while acknowledging risks from potential inflationary fiscal policies and higher government bond yields that could impact returns.
