Quick Take

"Mondrian sees AI valuations at unsustainable levels requiring major breakthroughs to justify current prices. European political stability provides relief but fragmentation persists."

Executive Summary

Mondrian maintains a disciplined value approach amid AI euphoria and European political uncertainty. While semiconductor holdings like TSMC, Samsung Electronics, and Micron Technologies have benefited portfolios, current AI valuations reflect best-case scenarios requiring breakthrough developments to justify prices. Key risks include scaling challenges as human-generated data becomes scarce by 2026 and uncertain monetization paths for AI applications. European elections provided stability with UK Labour's pro-business mandate and France avoiding far-right government, though political fragmentation persists. Market concentration creates a historically wide gap between cap-weighted and equal-weighted indices, presenting opportunities for active managers. Rather than chasing AI hype, the firm focuses on attractively valued segments across US and international markets using long-term dividend discount methodology. With significant uncertainty remaining across AI development and political landscapes, structured scenario analysis proves particularly valuable for maximizing risk-adjusted returns in an environment where policy risks are elevated and market opportunities diverge substantially.
