The elephant in the room
07.04.2025
After a remarkable increase in noise and confusion after the election of Trump as the president of the United States, a new question is now emerging: can Trump be controlled? No one, except for Trump, said it would be easy to arrange a ceasefire in Gaza and in Ukraine. There is no such ceasefire yet, so it was not easy. Elon Musk’s posts on X and the “Signal-gate” made it clear that the Trump administration is reckless and unable to communicate safely on social media without harming themselves…
What we can do best: Dynamic Allocation
Dynamic Allocation is our flagship strategy – dynamic means we reduce the downside risk while capturing upside potential by moving into different equity exposure states:
​
-
Defensive – Prioritizes capital protection in downturns
-
Balanced – Maintains neutral positioning when conditions are unclear
-
Positive – Seeks growth when market signals are strong
​
We are in a “Positive” positioning 60–80% of the time, reflecting both the market environment and our investment style. The reason is simple: markets generally trend upwards, and we aim to capture these trends.

Our founder on Bloomberg, 31.03.2025
Our founder Mads N. S. Pedersen joined Bloomberg Live for an in-depth conversation with Katie Greifeld. Mads discussed the 40% reduction in equity exposure we implemented in our dynamic allocation portfolios at the start of February and the corresponding move into bonds, reflecting a more cautious positioning.
Among the highlights, Mads explained that while consumer sentiment often grabs headlines, it's the pricing of inflation expectations and movements in U.S. Treasury yields that truly drive market dynamics.
On policy, he noted that any rise in U.S. tariffs must be measured to ensure inflationary pressures remain transitory and not hurt the republican base.
