South Korea AI capex lifts US suppliers

South Korea's massive $880 billion AI investment pledge by Samsung and SK Hynix will boost demand for U.S. semiconductor equipment and component suppliers, lifting stocks such as Lam Research, Applied Materials, and Qualcomm that directly supply these firms.

Buy 5-year Treasury, ride Warsh era

The firm closed underweight duration positions and started buying the 5-year U.S. Treasury (belly of the curve) as a sweet spot to ride out the early Warsh Fed era, while remaining cautious due to structurally higher inflation.

Overweight European and UK equities

European equities are relatively underpriced versus U.S. equities, will benefit from structural capex build-up and a potential reversal of capital flows, and any re-pricing of the extended AI trade will favor Europe and the UK on a relative basis.
