I discuss the February results for the brands strategy, what worked and what lagged. Which style factors and sectors are being rewarded and which ones are lagging. I talk about what could be driving the current market volatility, how long it could last, and what's driving it. Uncertainty is driving everything right now. Perhaps the Trump administration wants an economic slowdown to help bring inflation and rates down so refinancing's get done at better rates? I talk quickly about the current brands portfolio.

The Dynamic Brands strategy had a great month, handily outperforming the S&P 500 by 400bps. Tech was the worst performing sector, Healthcare the best. In this month's portfolio update, I talk about what worked and what lagged, what to expect from the Trump Tariffs and how to make the VOL your friend not your enemy. I covered how the brands portfolio holdings performed and how the trading book performed for the month. Hint: the trading opportunities are robust and should stay that way for the next 4 years. Honestly, thats a great thing with valuations so high, trading can add a ton of value versus a full, buy-hold approach. For more information on how to invest in the greatest brands ever created: I list the holdings, performance, and all the brochures and fact cards. https://www.globalbrandsmatter.com/dynamic-portfolio…

In today's 2024 brands portfolio update, I talk about the fund, HSUTX and its returns for 2024 as well as a look-back since inception 10/17/17. An allocation to leading global brands offers significant diversification benefits as well as return benefits. Brands tend to live in the sectors under-represented across indexes. The Fund is overweight Consumer Discretionary, Staples, Communication Services, and Financials vs the market. I talk about the holdings we own, their weight vs the benchmark and what we think will perform well in 2025.

In today's episode, I cover the month of September and Q3 returns for the Brands Fund, the markets, sectors, and the brands we own. I talk about the active trading environment and using volatility to enhance returns to the core, buy-hold portfolio of great brands. I also cover the health of the consumer and how we see consumer spending developing through the holidays. Bottom line: Investors should expect more volatility over the next 4-5 weeks. Great for traders, not so great for investors. In a world where central banks are now focused and coordinated on rate cuts, an asset price tailwind is alive and well and dips will likely be bought. Use these periods of VOL to upgrade your portfolio and to build bigger positions in your favorite long-term stocks.

I also highlight how crowded tech and semiconductor exposures are currently and how hated consumer stocks are. That's a wonderful contrarian signal. I talk about the health of the consumer, different income cohorts, and the general sentiment amongst consumers.
