We explore the \"trifecta\" of tightening financial conditions—rising rates, a strengthening dollar, and higher oil prices—and why this creates a challenging environment for risk assets. Despite the volatility, we identify emerging value in high-quality, economically resilient names like Microsoft, Meta, and Berkshire Hathaway. We also discuss the geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the long-term \"legs\" of the energy infrastructure build-out, and why the age of committee-driven investing is being outpaced by agile, machine-led strategies."}
