The team sees opportunities in AI adoption across sectors where it's not currently priced, while maintaining exposure to AI-related infrastructure investments despite reducing exposure during volatility spikes. Value spreads remain at historic extremes with value stocks trading at the cheapest 10% of their history relative to growth. The team believes this creates a probability gap with meaningful upside potential for valuation-driven investors as the market prices value stocks as having little chance of leading. Memory chip demand driven by AI exceeded supply growth, creating price spikes that benefited holdings like Micron Technology. The team correctly anticipated AI would drive memory demand well above supply growth, positioning in picks-and-shovels AI infrastructure plays. Gold prices spiked higher than reflected in mining stock prices, benefiting Newmont Mining. The team has been long-term bullish on gold due to limited annual supply and new demand sources, creating opportunities to buy high-probability events at low-probability prices. | PYPL FITB |
