Market Update October 2025

Send us a Text with any questions or comments Key points from this month’s update:The U.S. government shutdown is noise, but it reinforces our neutral stance on U.S. equities.International equities are compelling — cheaper, more diversified, and potentially boosted by currency.Alternatives like our Alterna Private Income Portfolio continue to deliver exceptional, world-class risk-adjusted returns.Beta still matters. Lazy portfolios are costly over time. Active management and diligence make all the difference.Gold and copper remain central — one as a safe haven, the other as a growth-linked asset.Tariffs, technology, and transition will drive volatility and opportunity in the years ahead.And finally, at MLD, our edge isn’t just access to exclusive opportunities — it’s the discipline, the problem-solving, and the stewardship that underpins every client relationship.
