⚡ Quantum Brief
The fund outperformed its custom benchmark in Q4 2025, driven by strategic allocations and market conditions, marking a strong finish to the year. U.S. equities led gains with the S&P 500 rising 2.66% for the quarter, closing 2025 up 17.88%, though emerging markets surged 33.57% annually. The Federal Reserve cut rates three times in Q4 amid weakening labor data, easing monetary policy to sustain growth despite economic softness. Equities comprised 40.1% of the portfolio by quarter-end, with fixed income, cash, and derivatives balancing exposure to manage risk and returns. Contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds boosted relative performance, outperforming the fund’s blended benchmark of global equities, high-yield corporates, and U.S. aggregates.
