Happy Saturday! Here are the top questions from Ask Titan Anything this week. As always, reach out to us if you have any questions.
Q: I've been thinking about getting some capital to work in the market. Tips on how to do that?
Super fair question and one we have been hearing from clients a lot recently. We generally encourage clients to take advantage of our recurring deposit feature when getting capital to work in a non-retirement account. It helps you achieve two things: 1) mitigates the risk of mistiming the market, and 2) uses the volatility of the markets to your advantage. Small but consistent deposits allow you to slowly get capital invested for the long run.
Q: Any interest in a regional banking play for Opportunities?
It's been several months since the volatility in the regional banking space caused by several high-profile bank failures started to calm down. But that doesn't mean the volatility in regional banking is over. Stricter lending standards, more regulation, and heightened uncertainty headline the regional banking environment as it stands today. Although there may be some value to be found on a historical basis, the sector is in all likelihood in the "too hard" bucket as uncertainties loom large. We'll stay on the sidelines for the time being.
Q: What was the reasoning behind trimming LVMH?
As we laid out in our trade update last week, LVMH has grown into one of the highest-valued companies in the world but that title comes with high expectations. Despite the company reporting strong earnings, the stock suffered because it wasn’t the typical beat and raise that investors have become accustomed to. Due to the combination of a slowing US consumer and a strong run over the last two years, we elected to trim our positioning here.
At the time of this writing, LVMH is a holding in Offshore.
