"Markets trade at Dotcom-era valuations while the AI boom mirrors prior technology bubbles with Chinese competition threatening profitability. The manager holds 49% cash and concentrates equity exposure in deeply discounted energy assets trading at five times earnings with high yields."
The Investigator Trust returned 11.1% for the financial year, outperforming the Australian market but trailing the World Index. The manager warns that world markets are extremely expensive, with the S&P 500 trading at a record 42x cyclically adjusted P/E, matched only by the Dotcom bubble. The AI boom shows echoes of prior technology manias, with American tech giants spending nearly a trillion dollars annually on infrastructure while fierce Chinese competition emerges with comparable models priced 60% cheaper. The manager maintains a defensive posture with 51% in equities and 49% in short-dated government bonds. Approximately a quarter of the fund is invested in energy, primarily oil and gas, with holdings like CNOOC and Petrobras trading at five times earnings with 8-10% yields. The manager recently added to offshore drillers following industry consolidation and also holds 4% in uranium through NexGen Energy. Asian investments, particularly Chinese technology stocks, comprise 14% of the fund. Russian oil and gas holdings represent 7% at a 55% discount to Moscow Exchange prices. Despite expensive markets, the manager remains excited about specific portfolio holdings and believes the cash position provides protection if markets fall.
