Snow tracks

In 2025, I picked up new terms like DeepSeek, Gemini 3, economic statecraft, and involution to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. Yet while there will be many new ideas and words to stay on top of in 2026, now is a good time to con­sider the timeless principles that can guide portfolio decisions in the new year.

In keeping with my annual tradition, here are five New Year’s resolutions that I believe can help investors cut through the noise and build robust portfolios for the future.

  1. Take stock: Review your plan
  2. Get moving: Put cash to work
  3. Build resilience: Strengthen your core
  4. Sleep better at night: Hedge market risks
  5. Seize the moment: Seek tactical opportunities

Whatever your goals for the coming year, I hope the resolutions explored in this letter will help you build a robust portfolio for 2026 and beyond. We wish you a happy holiday season and a prosperous year ahead.
