Increasing Equity Exposure in Growth Models

Today, we increased our S&P 500 exposure in growth portfolios, raising allocations from 35% to 65%. This decision was based on the market showing sustained support just above our designated risk-off level. While risks remain elevated, we are beginning to reallocate where we see stability.

If this stability holds through Monday, we intend to increase equity exposure in other models as well. However, we remain prepared to shift defensively should market conditions worsen in the days ahead.

Balancing Caution with Discipline

We believe the market may be setting up for its first meaningful correction in years. Even so, our approach remains rooted in discipline. When our risk indicators allow for opportunity, we are committed to acting decisively within those boundaries—even if broader conditions remain uncertain.

Staying agile is key. If downside volatility resumes, we’re ready to reduce exposure quickly to protect portfolios.

Gold Miners Added for Strategic Diversification

We also added a 5% allocation to gold miners in both our growth and moderate models. After a strong rally last week, gold has pulled back in recent days, presenting what we believe is a short-term oversold condition.

Gold could offer upside potential if equities falter, the dollar weakens, or the Fed delays rate hikes beyond September. As always, this move is part of our broader effort to manage risk while remaining responsive to market opportunities.
