Under normal conditions, 𝙄 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝟱%–𝟭𝟬% 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙝. When markets are particularly strong, or when I feel short-term risks have increased, I may raise that level by trimming positions.

That’s higher than my usual range and reflects a deliberate decision rather than inactivity. ▪️𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 Cash helps reduce volatility and gives flexibility to act when opportunities arise. This approach has worked well for the portfolio in the past, particularly during periods of market pullbacks when cash was redeployed into quality assets. ▪️𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬 With markets coming off a strong start to the year, earnings season underway, and geopolitical tensions rising again, holding a higher level of cash helps keep flexibility high if better entry points emerge. ❓️As always I welcome questions.
