Key Takeaways

  • Our four core strategies have delivered reasonable absolute and relative returns over the past year, underpinned by our commitment to data-driven analysis, thorough preparation, and adaptability

  • In a landscape marked by earnings bifurcation, we’re overweight sectors that demonstrate robust performance, with a particular emphasis on what we believe are the promising future of tech and healthcare, especially GLP-1s, and AI, while prudently scaling back in areas facing unpredictability

  • Attuned to geopolitical shifts and policy changes, like recent elections in Europe, we remain active in capitalizing on the growth prospects of vibrant markets such as India, while maintaining caution in China’s evolving regulatory environment
