Market Outlook 2025

As we approach 2025, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump appears much better prepared to take office compared to late 2016. The tariff playbook has been revisited, and neighboring countries Canada and Mexico have learned that Trump is willing to use tariffs for purposes beyond just trade practices. China, the main target of U.S. tariffs during Trump’s first presidency, is also better prepared, having begun to leverage its dominance in rare metals. Global leaders are closely watching, staying tuned to social media 24/7. For 2025, we emphasize flexibility and strategies that offer a more idiosyncratic return profile.

Market Update: Quick Take - This is not panic station

Goldilocks seems so much yesterday as August kicked off with spiking volatility and risk appetite slumping. The negative market action is centering around a sell-off in Japanese currencies and equities as well as US tech stocks. While we believe a mild recession is the most likely path forward, we would also caution against extrapolating recent market patterns.
