In a market defined by contradiction — rising indexes alongside fraying labor markets, fiscal largesse alongside tariff-induced consumption drag — portfolio manager Darren Sissons finds opportunity precisely where collective anxiety has driven prices below their underlying worth. His October selections of Danaher, LVMH, and Shell reflect an old and enduring truth: that fear, when it becomes consensus, tends to misprice things. The contrarian posture, he argues, has been 2025's most rewarding discipline, and the conditions that made it so have not yet exhausted themselves.
