"Alpine Capital views Q1 2025's tariff-driven market volatility as temporary disruption rather than structural decline, maintaining high conviction in American economic resilience and capitalist superiority."

Executive Summary

Alpine Capital's inaugural quarterly newsletter addresses Q1 2025's considerable upheaval driven by Trump administration policies, particularly tariff implementation. While the S&P 500 declined 4.3% amid policy uncertainty, the manager maintains unwavering confidence in American economic resilience, viewing current disruptions as temporary adjustment rather than structural decline. The investment philosophy anchors on fundamental capitalism principles, with the US exemplifying this paradigm through the world's largest, most profitable corporations generating substantial international revenue. The firm deliberately underweights South Africa due to persistent capital outflows, political instability, and economic stagnation, despite discounted equity valuations lacking catalysts. Key risks include potential stagflation from tariff-induced supply chain disruptions, though the manager expects pragmatic policy moderation. The outlook suggests 2025 will likely be a consolidation year rather than pronounced growth, with valuations easing from peaks creating selective opportunities. The manager's long-term perspective continues identifying substantial opportunities amid present uncertainty, maintaining focus on shareholder value maximization for clients.
