CG ASSET MANAGEMENT - Quarterly Update - Q2 2026

In this episode, we discuss CG Asset Management's Q2 2026 update amid recent US-Middle East tensions and a significant fee imposed on passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite these geopolitical pressures, global markets remain relatively calm, while CG Asset Management adopts a defensive stance—minimizing risk assets and maximizing inflation-linked bonds. The podcast explores the intersection of geopolitical supply issues and the surging demand from the AI boom, raising concerns about the sustainability of current market valuations, particularly among speculative tech stocks. With a heavy reliance on just two entities for AI demand, the discussion highlights potential vulnerabilities in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Ultimately, we examine whether the foundations being built for AI are secure or if they rest on a fragile bubble of venture capital funding.
