The manager views declaring war with the whole world as a highly risky strategy that might backfire badly, with wounds from Liberation Day not healing quickly even if some tariffs are back-pedaled later. | View | |

There is fear about commercial real estate and credit quality, but the manager believes the Treasury curve cannot get more inverted, which should lead to margin stabilization and improvement for banks. Focus on banks that have suffered from equity raises or bear reports. | View | |

The authors believe the time to buy natural resource equities has arrived as the long-dormant bull market may be stirring again. History shows every commodity bear cycle has ended with a monetary regime shock. | View | |
| 2024 Q1 | Mar 26, 2024 | Crescat Capital – Global Macro Hedge Fund | - | - | QQQ, SPY | Activist, Megacap Tech, Mining, Precious Metals, Short Selling | Long activist mining positions in precious metals represent the largest thematic exposure firmwide and have been the primary driver of strong performance year-to-date across all funds.

The tech sector peaked on AI infrastructure announcements before reversing as sentiment shifted regarding over-extrapolated promotional claims. Event-driven M&A activity was a key performance driver, with Confluent's acquisition by IBM validating the manager's thesis published in August. The strategy focuses on identifying attractive acquisition candidates in the technology sector. | SATS |

Wind and solar have terrible EROIs compared to fossil fuels, requiring massive raw materials and energy inputs. Recent project cancellations and cost increases validate their contrarian view that renewables cannot replace conventional energy. | View | |

The manager discusses how choppy markets with big moves down followed by quick reversals create challenging conditions for hedging strategies. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 9, 2026 | Mountain Vista Wealth Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | AGG, DBB, EMB, ETHA, FBTC, GLD, IVE, IVW, IWM, JNK, QQQ, SPY, TLT, USO, VXUS, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV | AI, Bitcoin, Economic Outlook, ETFs, Federal Reserve, gold, inflation, Market Commentary | A key question for 2026 is whether AI investments will translate into measurable productivity gains and margin expansion beyond the technology sector. The downside scenario involves a reassessment of AI and data center ROI which could trigger sharp corrections in high-flying growth stocks. Companies are investing in technology that allows them to make their existing workforce more productive, representing an AI-driven productivity boom. Inflation remains persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for the fifth consecutive year, though showing signs of cooling on many fronts. Tariffs have pushed up goods prices, causing inflation to remain elevated. The psychological scars of 2021/22 inflation remain despite real wage growth trending up since Q3 2022. The FOMC delivered a 25 basis point rate cut to 3.50-3.75% range with significant division among policymakers. High interest rates and persistently high prices have pushed monthly payments up at a shocking rate relative to income growth. The Fed announced it would begin purchasing shorter-term Treasury securities to maintain ample reserves. Gold delivered exceptional gains consistently as investors sought assets tied to real scarcity and low correlation to financial assets. Persistent geopolitical risk, elevated fiscal deficits, and gradual erosion of confidence in fiat currencies supported sustained inflows. Central banks continued to be net buyers, with gold posting an extraordinary 63.7% annual return. Bitcoin exhibited far greater volatility and a different return profile than gold, experiencing powerful rallies earlier in the year but proving fragile as risk appetite faded. The sharp drawdown in Q4 highlighted Bitcoin's sensitivity to speculative positioning and leverage. Rather than behaving as a defensive hedge, Bitcoin traded more like a high-beta risk asset. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 9, 2026 | QuadCap Wealth Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | AGG, DIA, EEM, EFA, HYG, IWD, IWF, IWM, IWN, IWO, IWP, IWR, IWS, LQD, MUB, QQQ, SPY, XLB, XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV, XLY | AI, Economic Data, Fed policy, Government Shutdown, Market Leadership | Artificial intelligence remained a key investment theme in Q4, but the narrative matured as investors became more selective. The market shifted focus from headline growth to AI economics, questioning capital requirements for data centers and whether companies could maintain spending pace without pressuring cash flow. Companies involved in large-scale AI projects faced increased scrutiny, especially where spending plans outpaced near-term cash flow. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by -0.50% in Q4 but signaled a pause, emphasizing future cuts will depend on incoming data. Officials appeared divided between those warning policy remains too restrictive and others cautioning against cutting too soon and reigniting inflation. The shutdown data fog made Fed policy a source of near-term uncertainty and market volatility. | View | |

The market shifted focus from broad enthusiasm to companies demonstrating pricing power and a path to profitability rather than growth at any cost. Questions emerged about capital requirements for data centers and whether companies could maintain aggressive capex spending without pressuring cash flow. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.50% in Q4 but signaled a pause, hinting it could cut less than the market expects in 2026. Fed officials appeared divided with some warning policy remains too restrictive while others caution cutting too soon could reignite inflation. The government shutdown delayed key economic data, making Fed policy a source of near-term uncertainty and market volatility. | View | |

Believes there is no fundamental reason for this rally and compares moves to the 1970s when US abandoned gold standard. AI companies, particularly neoclouds, corrected 50% but are showing signs of life again. Manager previously shorted low quality AI names trading on high multiples but closed positions when momentum couldn't be fought. Oil equities have diverged from oil prices with E&P, OFS and Majors underperforming. Manager notes well-supplied market and Chinese demand reduction while they add to strategic reserves. Mixed results in biotech with FDA walking back QURE approval after mixed data causing roundtrip of profits. Healthcare sector performed well with TEVA and REGN benefiting from immunity to tariffs and AI disruption. Excited about Figure Technologies at crossroads of blockchain and electronic HELOC securitization. Company provides bridge for stablecoin yield investment and operates marketplace for on-chain loan investment with fraud-resistant electronic system. | EMO CN KITS CN |

| 2025 Q4 | Jan 22, 2026 | Crescat Capital – Global Macro Hedge Fund | 0.0% | 0.0% | QQQ, SPY, XAU | commodities, global, Hedge Funds, inflation, Macro, Mining, Performance, Precious Metals | Crescat's activist metals strategy focuses on precious and critical metals mining, believing it is still early in the macro cycle for mining stocks with strong value and high future growth potential in premier explorers and developers. The firm sees many years of favorable tailwinds for mining stocks with a backdrop of unsustainable global debt and deficits. Crescat positions for an inflationary decade, with models pointing toward long-term structural inflation and a declining US dollar. This environment favors hard assets, foreign equity exposure, and selective industries as necessary inflation accompanies unsustainable global debt and deficits. Demand for metals has been skyrocketing from data centers among other factors, contributing to structural global metals shortage after more than a decade of underinvestment in exploration and development. | View | |
| 2024 Q4 | Jan 19, 2025 | Unconventional Value | - | 73.2% | PGY, PL, QQQ, SPIR, SPY, UPST, XMTR | Data, growth, small caps, SPACs, technology, value | Manager has decent concentration in busted SPACs - companies that went public at too high valuations and have been left for dead. Some entities might possess solid business models, good leadership, and promising prospects; it will just take longer than expected to justify exorbitant valuations. | View | |

Microsoft's Azure platform showed accelerating growth at 28% constant currency, marking the first quarter-over-quarter acceleration in six quarters. The company's cloud-based services have become its largest revenue producer with Azure having potential to grow to over $100 billion in annual revenue over the next decade. | AAPL|MSFT|NFLX|NVDA|UNH UBER SHOP |
