⚡ Quantum Brief
The fund reported losses across fixed income, equities, and commodities in Q4 2025, despite resilient risk assets as policy expectations clashed with growing economic uncertainties. Equities rose on strong earnings, anticipated monetary easing, and sustained AI/tech enthusiasm, though late-quarter momentum faded amid investor caution. Fixed-income losses stemmed from long positions in European, Japanese, Canadian, and Australian rates, reflecting bond market volatility ahead of 2026 policy shifts. Markets in 2026 are expected to remain volatile and path-dependent, with outcomes hinging on central bank actions and macroeconomic data surprises. The fund added cross-sectional alpha signals in January 2026 to enhance multi-market strategies, aiming to improve risk-adjusted returns amid persistent uncertainty.
