Gold prices are up 31% in 3 years, with no signs of slowing. At a time when interest rates are at historical highs. We call this the "US Debt Default" hedge. Whilst unlikely, USA and many countries must either: sell public assets, raise taxes, or cut spending in the next few years to avoid bankrupting their own social security funds, laden with Treasuries. People talk about the possibility of war, but not even North Korea has $30-50T of resources to take to pay this liability. This is the elephant in the room that can't be talked about because we all believe someone will solve it, but it needs to be addressed before like climate change it is too late. It is important that all investors, not just fund managers, have diversified to manage this risk. #USdebtdefault #portfoliodiversification #goldprices https://lnkd.in/gqhmxJAv

The famous Gretskyism: "Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been." We often get asked by investors, what we think the performance will be next week, or next month? The only truthful answer is, I don't know. If I was smart enough to know where the puck was going, I would put 100% in that one asset and leverage 10x. By studying what Renaissance Technologies was doing, we at TCM constructed a system that allocates a globally diversified portfolio of 100+ positions in assets that are looking like they're in the 1st innings of maybe a 5 innings run. We manage risk with diversification, and over time the returns of the many small positions add up. The most important factor is our strategy has a skew of +0.66, so when the system gets it right we get significantly better rewarded than when it gets it wrong. As we approach the 11th year of our journey and 16.58% pa returns, we realize we are still only at the beginning of what we can achieve.

Inflation forecast for 2024 and 2025 shows a slight deceleration from the peak, with the all-items index increasing by 3.1% YoY in January 2024, a slight drop from the 3.4% increase seen in December. However, the core CPI accelerated 3.9% YoY, exceeding expectations. Despite the optimism for a continued decrease in inflation, the current report suggests the Fed may need to keep rates higher for longer. Stay tuned for more updates! #InflationForecast #Economy #MarketInsights

TCM Fund is a Quant Hedge Fund based in Singapore. The portfolio rebalances 100+ positions globally across equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies. Since commencing in July 2013, TCM has generated returns of 13.40% pa (after all fees and expenses) with a skew of 0.38 for our investors. TCM has been closed for new investment for 2 years, because the strategy was expected to underperform when interest rates are rapidly increasing. However, this is changing quickly, and TCM is opening for US and Non-US investors commencing March 2024. We believe interest rates are nearing peak which presents opportunities for investors. TCM has delivered returns of 34.87% (after fees and expenses) in the last 12 months alone. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
