UK Long-End Gilts FXI 1ST QQQ VGK FLIP EUFN
Long UK long-dated gilts
UK long-dated gilts offer attractive yields with inflation cooling, no wage spiral, and a wide spread over bunds. The market has already priced in a lot of risk, and long-term fundamentals support duration exposure.
UK Long-End Gilts LONG
Long Chinese equities
Chinese equities have underperformed and are showing a reversal in performance, with recent AI model innovations underscoring the shift. The manager is redeploying capital from Korea into China and other underperforming markets, viewing this as part of a rotation out of momentum trades.
FXI LONG
Long US hyperscaler stocks
US hyperscalers have a low bar to surprise positively on both earnings and narrative. CapEx estimates have already been raised 30% this year, so any indication they won't keep upgrading, or that free cash flow will turn positive sooner, could boost the stocks. The sell-off in the Mag 7 is overdone, favoring hyperscalers over semis.

European equities have been upgraded to overweight as a way to play the broadening trade away from momentum. The region offers similar performance to the equal-weight S&P 500 and benefits from rotation into value and out of tech concentration.
