"Peak Asset Management navigates Q1 2025 market volatility driven by Trump administration tariff policies. After February highs, stocks declined as trade uncertainty emerged, culminating in Liberation Day market disruption."

Executive Summary

Peak Asset Management's Q1 2025 letter addresses market volatility driven by the Trump administration's tariff policies. After the S&P 500 reached all-time highs in February, stocks declined into negative territory as trade policy uncertainty emerged. The implementation of tariffs on February 1st and the broader Liberation Day announcement on April 2nd created significant market disruption, leading to a three-day mini-crash. The manager had anticipated volatility in 2025 following two consecutive 20%+ return years, noting that stock valuations were stretched to historically demanding levels. Economic uncertainty is creating indecision among consumers and businesses, potentially leading to reduced spending and investment. The firm responds by focusing on disciplined asset allocation, matching investments to client cash flow needs through appropriate allocations to cash, bonds, and stocks based on time horizons. The manager emphasizes maintaining conviction during turbulent periods and building on new opportunities while communicating clearly about personal goals and objectives.
