"Peak Asset Management navigated Q1 2025 trade policy volatility by maintaining disciplined asset allocation."

Executive Summary

Peak Asset Management's Q1 2025 letter addresses significant market volatility driven by the Trump administration's tariff policies. The S&P 500 reached all-time highs in February before declining into negative territory as trade policy uncertainty emerged. The February 1st tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, followed by broader tariffs announced on Liberation Day (April 2nd), caused a three-day market crash. A subsequent ninety-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for most countries led to a sharp rally. The manager had expected volatility in 2025 after two consecutive 20%+ years, noting that double-digit pullbacks are historically normal even in bull markets. Current valuation metrics remain at historically demanding levels. Peak's approach during uncertain periods focuses on disciplined asset allocation matching client cash flow needs, allocating to cash and bonds for short-term needs and stocks for long-term growth. The firm maintains conviction in their positions during turbulent periods while seeking new opportunities, emphasizing clear communication and focus on client objectives.
