๐ Market Update โ A Pause in the Storm
Some of the world's biggest funds (Schroders, Jupiter, Franklin Templeton, Allspring) are moving back into Treasuries, AI stocks, and defence names today as the USโIran ceasefire takes hold and war-driven uncertainty fades. Bloomberg is calling it a decisive shift and markets seem to agree.
First, congratulations. Most of you stayed through the worst of it. For some, their first market downturn. That discipline is exactly why this strategy works and it's why the portfolio is positioned to benefit now, not after the rally has already run.
What's working
- Quality tech (ASML, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia) is catching a bid as institutional flows rotate back into AI. These were the names we held through the sell-off and now they're leading.
- Defence (Rolls-Royce, BAE, Rheinmetall, Airbus) continues to deliver. Even with the ceasefire, structural defence spending isn't going anywhere.
- Treasuries (TLT) are rallying as big funds pile in ahead of an expected Fed pivot.
On the setup
Our cash buffer is still meaningful and we are deploying it selectively into names where the risk/reward is now clearly asymmetric. This is what the cash was for.
The plan remains unchanged: stay invested, stay diversified, lean in when others leave. You did exactly that.
Patience & discipline,
Heloรฏse

Not investment advice. The author may have financial interests in the mentioned instruments.
The institutional rotation back into Treasuries makes sense given the term structure dynamics. Defense names like BAE and Rheinmetall have shown resilience beyond just the conflict premium - there's a structural spending cycle that persists regardless of ceasefire timing.
