Quick Take

"Q2 2025 proved diversification's value as international small and value stocks outperformed during a volatile quarter marked by tariff announcements and reversals. The dollar's 11% decline boosted international returns."

Executive Summary

Sparrow Wealth Management's Q2 2025 letter emphasizes diversification as the primary defense against market volatility. The quarter was characterized as a roller coaster, with the S&P 500 falling nearly 10% in one week following President Trump's broader-than-expected tariff announcement, then fully recovering after a 90-day pause was announced. International small and value stocks were the best performers, driven by an 11% decline in the U.S. dollar that benefited companies earning in foreign currencies. The S&P 500 returned 10.94% for the quarter, while international stocks earned 11.74% and U.S. bonds grew 0.97%. Looking ahead, markets face uncertainty from trade negotiations, potential tax legislation, anticipated interest rate cuts, and artificial intelligence evolution. The manager maintains that while predicting these factors is impossible, diversification has proven its value this year and remains the best strategy for navigating unexpected market developments.
