Quick Take

"Multi-asset funds capitalized on monetary policy pivot from inflation to growth focus, with infrastructure and value strategies outperforming as market leadership broadened beyond technology."

Executive Summary

T. Bailey's multi-asset funds delivered positive performance in Q3 2024 as monetary policy shifted from inflation control to supporting economic growth. This transition created broader market leadership beyond technology, benefiting the funds' diverse equity exposure. The manager strategically positioned for interest rate normalization by introducing infrastructure funds trading at discounts, which performed well alongside existing REIT holdings. Value-conscious equity strategies outperformed as market breadth improved, while artificial intelligence holdings faced headwinds from elevated valuations. Gold provided strong diversification benefits, outweighing weakness in copper exposure. Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve's easing cycle beginning with a 50bp cut signals focus on employment over inflation. Despite potential volatility from election uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, the investment environment remains attractive with broadening earnings growth. The funds maintain diversified positioning across high-quality companies trading at mid-teens price-to-earnings multiples, with alternative investments providing downside protection and gold offering portfolio diversification in an environment of elevated asset correlations.
