Quick Take

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

Executive Summary

Peak Asset Management's Q1 2025 letter addresses market volatility driven by the Trump administration's tariff policies. The S&P 500 reached an all-time high in February before declining due to trade policy uncertainty. Liberation Day on April 2nd brought expanded tariffs that spooked investors, causing a three-day mini-crash before recovering when Trump announced a ninety-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. The manager views uncertainty as a driver of economic slowdown, causing consumers to save rather than spend and businesses to reduce investment. Stock valuations entered the quarter at historically demanding levels. Peak's approach during uncertain periods focuses on core wealth management principles: matching asset allocation to client cash flow needs, allocating to cash and bonds for short-term needs and stocks for long-term growth, and maintaining conviction in holdings to build on opportunities. The firm emphasizes communication and focus on personal client goals over time rather than reacting to market turbulence.
