"ROCKLINC advocates precious metals as essential hedge against America's $108.5 trillion fiscal crisis, where liabilities grew four times faster than GDP since 2010. Gold and silver royalty companies drove Q1 outperformance amid historic metal rallies."
Executive Summary
ROCKLINC delivered 1.05% returns in Q1 2026 amid a challenging market environment, with precious metals royalty companies driving outperformance as gold and silver rallied strongly. The manager presents a compelling case for precious metals ownership based on America's deteriorating fiscal position, where liabilities have expanded four times faster than GDP since 2010, reaching $108.5 trillion in total obligations. Gold rose 8.20% quarterly while silver gained 5.30%, continuing historic rallies driven by monetary debasement concerns and industrial demand. Energy was the standout sector performer, gaining 29-37% on geopolitical tensions and oil price spikes above $100, though the manager expects reversal following Middle East conflict resolution. Technology sectors declined sharply on AI valuation concerns and sector rotation. The portfolio maintains significant precious metals exposure through royalty companies offering low-risk cash flows with metal price leverage. With equity markets near all-time highs and valuations stretched, the manager emphasizes capital preservation while remaining alert to opportunities during market dislocations.
