As an overarching macro investment style at Crescat today, we have actually been preparing for the Great Rotation. Our company believe this theme is a tectonic shift out of hyper-overvalued, long-duration financial possessions and into a narrower underestimated segment of the marketplace that is focused on the tangible possessions at the core of the worldwide economy. It is an accident of macro worldviews and financial investment flows with one much bigger crowded swimming pool of properties all set to swamp the other small one to just more fire up the inflationary catalyst, a feedback loop of huge proportion.
2021 was a year where we saw peeks under the surface of this shift beginning. However overall, the imbalances just grew more severe. The economy is not on sound footing for a brand-new financial expansion because there has been no purging of the assessment excesses from the last cycle.
At Crescat, we stay devoted to using macro and worth investing principles to protecting and growing wealth for our customers over the long term. We have actually honestly never ever been more ecstatic about our placing and the chance to provide solid inflation beating returns on both the long and short side of our portfolios in the coming months and years.
A Change Already Underway In 2022
Simply in the last 3 months, we saw almost $600 billion of Treasury notes and bonds being issued. The Fed has actually been responsible for about 35 to 40% of brand-new Treasury issuances in the last months. Without them as the lender of last resort, we believe the Treasury market will be facing a significant supply-demand inequality.
For the very first time in a really long-time we are seeing a significant increase in expense of capital unfolding throughout established economies. The outstanding value of unfavorable yielding bonds has dramatically reduced worldwide, peaking in December 2020 at $18.3 trillion. It is now in free-fall, back to $10.7 trillion.
As an overarching macro investment style at Crescat today, we have been preparing for the Great Rotation. December was a favorable month for all Crescats techniques. The Crescat Precious Metals Fund was the strongest performer in December and ended up the year up an estimated 11.6%. Crescat Capital is a worldwide macro asset management firm.

Invite to 2022. More than ever, our company believe it is time to get out with the old and in with the new.
At Crescat, we think investors today deal with a twofold problem:
The important to not get drawn into a financial property bubble destined to implode.
The requirement to surpass structurally increasing inflation.
Starting from traditionally extended assessments, inflation is the driver that can and must both crush price-to-earnings multiples and lead to increasing rate of interest. It can be particularly devastating to expensive big cap growth and mega-cap tech stocks.
This is an essential part of the macro regime modification that we have actually been calling for. It is a hostile market environment for long-duration properties that presently trade at historic multiples, i.e., tech stocks. These companies have rejoiced from a disinflationary setup for decades and are ripe to be re-rated at considerably lower prices in our view.
The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, XBI, is now down 36% since February 2021. The underperformance of software and biotechnology stocks explains why the over-hyped growth investments like the ARK ETF have done so inadequately in the last months. These are all strong indications that a reckoning minute for the stock and bond markets at large is upon us.
Still, there is a narrower value-oriented sector of the stock market that will flourish in this rotation. That is specifically the reason why our hedge funds remain greatly exposed on the long side to natural resource industries.
