Quick Take

"TEAM capitalized on Trump-driven US mega-cap technology surge with Magnificent 7 stocks delivering 67% returns as core holdings. Systematic framework maintained alignment with American exceptionalism trends while avoiding major detractors."

Executive Summary

TEAM Asset Management delivered strong Q4 2024 performance driven by Trump's decisive electoral victory that reignited animal spirits and fueled US mega-cap technology outperformance. The Republican Red sweep narrative of faster earnings growth, looser regulation, and lower corporate taxes drove American exceptionalism to new heights, with the US reaching 67.25% of global market capitalization. TEAM's systematic investment framework kept portfolios aligned with these trends, with the Magnificent 7 technology stocks comprising the lion's share of equity exposure and delivering 67% combined returns. Key portfolio contributors included US mega-cap growth, physical gold, infrastructure equities, and Asia semiconductor exposure. The manager maintains a constructive 2025 outlook with overweight equity allocations, emphasizing the barbell approach of US technology as core and ex-US as satellite positions. Primary risks include inflationary fiscal policies restricting Fed rate cuts and rising government bond yields from deficit concerns. TEAM enters 2025 positioned for continued American productivity gains while maintaining genuine diversification across asset classes and geographies.
