Flagship Portfolio
Conviction-weighted, inside hard position and theme caps. Held while the money keeps flowing; exited when the flow shifts, not when the price moves.
Mission
Own what capital, resources, and policy are flowing into.
The race to build out the next century — compute, energy, defense, biology — is being financed in plain sight. The Flagship reads those flows and owns the businesses receiving the funding: a concentrated, conviction-weighted book.
Hormuz tit-for-tat lifts VIX to 21, tape still orderly — NEUTRAL held, cash 20%
The evidence behind the call
Paper (19d, current) wants NEUTRAL 18-20% cash, OW energy/defense, UW compute/bio — agree; Hormuz escalation since Oct 15 keeps us pinned at 20% (§5.5 Tier 2 floor), not yet RISK-OFF.
Re-confirming this morning's call: the only reading that moved is VIX 19.4→21.15 (+15.7% vs 200d), still short of the stress trigger, while SPY holds +3.5% above its 200d and 75% of sectors sit above their 50d. High-yield spreads have widened noticeably over the past month but remain short of distress, so Hormuz strikes and Brent $123 are a tail to carry at the 20% §5.5 Tier 2 floor, not a RISK-OFF trigger. Energy/defense overweights and compute/biology underweights stay — rotation (energy +9.9pp, XLK -9.4pp 1m rel SPY) confirms them.
