"Ravenscroft positions for a new investment cycle beyond post-2008 easy money policies. While AI themes like Microsoft and Nvidia drove strong performance, persistent inflation and hawkish central banks create volatility."

Executive Summary

Ravenscroft navigated Q2 2023 by positioning portfolios for a fundamentally different investment environment than the post-2008 era. Despite initial optimism about inflation peaking and Fed policy pivoting, markets experienced volatility as inflation remained sticky, particularly in the UK, and central banks maintained hawkish stances. The firm's strategy involves maintaining exposure to both value-oriented investments and growth themes like AI, which dominated market performance with companies like Microsoft up 42% and Nvidia up 175% year-to-date. Their portfolios blend defensive positioning through higher-yielding corporate bonds and near-cash assets offering over 5% returns, while capturing growth through thematic investments in healthcare, technology, and energy transition. The managers emphasize that current attractive cash yields provide optionality, but maintain conviction in long-term equity and bond outperformance over 3-5 year horizons. Key risks include persistent inflation, potential policy errors by central banks, and economic softening, while catalysts include eventual Fed pivoting and improving liquidity conditions. The firm remains focused on irrefutable investment themes capable of generating returns across different market cycles.
