Quick Take

"AI infrastructure spending drives technology leadership while Federal Reserve easing supports markets despite elevated valuations at 40X Shiller P/E. Precious metals surge as portfolio insurance against fiscal irresponsibility."

Executive Summary

TEAM Asset Management delivered strong Q3 2025 performance driven by AI fever and Federal Reserve easing. The Magnificent 7 technology stocks recaptured market leadership with Nvidia delivering 56% revenue growth and describing AI infrastructure as entering a new industrial revolution. An estimated $350-400 billion annually will be spent on AI equipment by major technology companies. The Federal Reserve cut rates 25 basis points with two more cuts expected this year. Precious metals delivered phenomenal returns with gold up 19% and mining stocks nearly 50% as central banks continue accumulating and institutional money joins via ETF inflows. Chinese equities broke out to decade highs while trading at substantial discounts to US counterparts. Key risks include elevated Shiller P/E ratios at 40X and potential tariff-driven inflation surprises. The firm maintains healthy US technology exposure while holding physical gold and silver as portfolio insurance, having disposed of all G7 government bonds. They see attractive opportunities outside the US and expect to hold precious metals exposure for several years.
