This recent re-escalation serves as a reminder that a lasting agreement is far from a done deal. The simple truth is that the U.S. and Iranian governments do not trust one another, and it remains unclear whether negotiations are being conducted in good faith. The upcoming U.S. midterm election is also a ticking clock\u2014the Trump administration likely wants this issue to go away before Americans go to the polls (though they are not likely to admit that publicly), and the Iranians know that. That gives Iran significant leverage at the negotiating table, and they have little reason to make major concessions from such a position of strength. For these reasons, we expect to see more volatility going forward. What is preventing oil prices from returning to US$100 per barrel is markets\u2019 belief that the conflict will get resolved eventually. We agree with that assessment, but it\u2019s the time frame that is the question. With oil prices likely to increase somewhat every time tensions increase, inflation becomes the concern: if it stays hotter for longer, consumer sentiment could drop, interest rate cuts could come off the table, and rate hikes could even re-enter the conversation. Company valuations could also be affected. In our view, investors need to recognize that a risk premium should be attached to prices given the ongoing uncertainty. In fact, even after the midterms, we think there should still be a risk premium, as the Trump administration may circle back to certain policy priorities, like trade, that have been put on the back burner due to the Iran conflict and the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bottom line: With tensions between the U.S. and Iran persisting, uncertainty remains high and investors should expect more volatility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bonds\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While equity markets have largely shrugged off concerns about the U.S.-Iran conflict, yields on U.S. Treasury 10-year notes have shifted in response to lingering uncertainty. What does this mean for allocators? In general, bond markets tend to be more aligned with risks than equity markets; that negativity is part of the reason we\u2019re underweight bonds. However, we still believe that bonds are an important hedge against equities, especially if we do eventually see a bigger pullback in stocks or if uncertainty persists for longer than investors expect. We likely wouldn\u2019t take on risk in the fixed income market\u2014in this environment, the risk-return trade-off is simply more attractive on the equity side that it would be with High Yield or Emerging Market debt, for example. But we do want to keep a bond allocation as a layer of safety. Speaking of protection, gold has also come back to a point where it is an attractive option to own as a hedge against volatility. While a significant escalation of the U.S.-Iran situation could upend things, we think gold is likely to hold up well in any environment short of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bottom line: Bond markets tend to be more risk-aware than equity markets, and while we are underweight fixed income, we still like it\u2014and gold\u2014as a hedge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-factors\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Momentum factor has taken a hit recently after outperforming for much of the year. For investors that may be questioning that trade, we would suggest approaching your portfolio with clear eyes, asking yourself: Where are your risks? And what are the things in your portfolio that are still working as expected? Some of your longer-term holds may not be in favour at the moment, but if you look six months out, the outlook is brighter. Our approach is to have holdings in place to offset your more volatile positions, such as the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. This could include bonds or gold, as I mentioned previously. Or, it could be a factor like Small Caps, with has held up relatively well, or Low Volatility, which enables investors to participate in the upside while potentially reducing some of the big swings. SpaceX is an excellent case study: it came in with an exceptionally high valuation but without the strong earnings we tend to see from the Magnificent 7 (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla). This raised renewed valuation questions that affected not only SpaceX, but also the other megacap Tech companies, as well as companies poised for their own initial public offerings (IPOs) like OpenAI and Anthropic. Those kinds of speedbumps are to be expected along the way, which is why we prefer to have hedges in place as an offset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bottom line: We think it is important to have measures in place to offset your more volatile positions, whether in the form of a factor exposure like Low Vol or Small Cap or more traditional exposures like bonds and gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-positioning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Positioning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a detailed breakdown of our portfolio
