"Resilient Asset Management warns clients about cybersecurity threats while cautioning against extrapolating Magnificent Seven-driven market returns."

Executive Summary

Christopher Flis of Resilient Asset Management delivers a Q2 2024 letter emphasizing cybersecurity risks and market concentration concerns. The manager highlights the CDK Global cyber attack that crippled car dealerships nationwide, providing clients with actionable security protocols including password managers and multi-factor authentication. On markets, Flis notes the Magnificent Seven's dominance has driven S&P 500 returns to 17% year-to-date versus 4.6% for equal-weighted indices. While clients benefit through market cap weighted index funds, he cautions against expecting such returns to continue given the 34% annualized pace versus historical 11.5% averages. The manager warns that technology leadership can be temporary, citing Intel and Cisco's falls from grace as cautionary tales for Nvidia despite its current AI dominance. On international exposure, Flis acknowledges US outperformance over the past 14 years but notes foreign stocks had 109% net advantage from 1971-2000, suggesting patience with international allocations may be rewarded given current relative valuations.
