AI Selectivity and Fintech Opportunity
July 2026 Dear Investors, June was a volatile month defined by a split between AI/tech leadership and a broad digital-asset drawdown, as some US megacaps and semiconductors hit record highs before a late-month selloff exposed stretched valuations. Digital assets were hit hard with Bitcoin falling to a year-to-date low near $58,200 (~30% YTD), with capital rotating out of crypto into AI bottlenecks. On macro, the Fed held rates at 3.50–3.75% at Kevin Warsh's first meeting as c

Volatility leads to new opportunities
May was defined by deflating risk appetite for crypto and global rates, but increasing risk appetite in technology stocks, particularly within the AI space. The divergence highlights that investor sentiment is primarily driven by AI (for now).

We believe that the AI focus will continue for the time being, but we increasingly emphasize a cautious al

The tides are turning
We believe crypto markets are poised to move higher from here. There are several factors playing out at the same time, that in aggregate, are supportive for crypto assets going forward. Therefore, we strongly feel that it is time for allocators to leg into positions and take advantage of current market conditions. Flows are moving in the right direction: After several months of outflows in Bitcoin ETFs, coinciding with the market’s drawdown, flows are reversing lately. ETFs

As usual, we uncover market drivers and highlight what may lie ahead. Executive Summary: Government Shu
