Cantor Investment Team Views

The outperformance year to date can be put down to 5 key drivers, listed below:

  1. Style agnosticism: 2025 has represented a complete reversal of the stocks, sectors, regions, and factors that have led the market in 2023,2024 in quite a dramatic fashion.
  2. Stock selection: This is at the heart of what Cantor do as they do not run benchmark positions. Over 25 stocks have added significantly to performance this year, ranging from UK banks, EU defence, US Stablecoins, Global subscription services & Irish Airlines.
  3. Proactive Asset allocation: Post the US election day euphoria after volatility collapsed, the fund manager went to the bottom of their investment range, Post Liberation Day capitulation and after volatility exploded, they went back to the top end.
  4. Tactical Opportunities: Decisions made around the “deepseek” Monday, which saw key power and energy holdings fall 7 standard deviations added to returns as Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management have the investment culture to exploit these rapid “black swan”* events.
  5. Risk Management: In terms of equity holdings, their top 20 contributors have an almost 2:1 ratio versus their top 20 losers.

*a Black Swan event refers to a rare and unpredictable event that causes extreme disruption in financial markets. These events are not anticipated by most investors or models, and they often lead to sharp market declines or volatility spikes.
