"Troy reduced gold exposure after strong gains while maintaining AI positions in Alphabet and Microsoft despite elevated valuations. New yen position hedges dollar weakness expectations."
Troy Asset Management's Q1 2026 report describes a volatile quarter driven by the Iran war, AI disruption, and inflation concerns. The firm reduced gold holdings from 14% to 10% after strong gains, citing investment bank enthusiasm as a warning signal. AI continues dominating markets with sharp moves, particularly affecting SaaS companies like Salesforce and data firms. Hyperscalers are doubling AI investments with Alphabet proposing to increase spending from $91bn to $180bn. The managers maintain positions in Alphabet and Microsoft despite elevated valuations, believing both can remain resilient through multiple competitive advantages. A new 10% yen position via Japanese government bonds reflects dollar weakness expectations. The Iran conflict represents the fourth major supply shock this decade, raising stagflation risks as central banks struggle with inflation targets. Kevin Warsh's Fed appointment may reduce independence concerns. Upcoming mega-IPOs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX could increase market volatility. The strategy maintains low duration and emphasizes real assets while seeking asymmetric opportunities amid heightened uncertainty.
