We will be publishing our 1st Quarter 2025 Letter to Investors next week, the following is an excerpt from that letter:
As we noted earlier this year, we believe, along with many others, that we are now in a period in which investing from the position of political and geopolitical naivety has ended. As such, what has worked in markets is unlikely to work in the future.
This transition has been years in the making. Still, a confluence of events in recent years, starting with COVID and ending most recently with a rollout of an effort by the US government to reshape global trade, has sharply accelerated the transition.
