Puru Saxena: Stock market rally showing maturity as portfolio shifts to cash and puts
Portfolio shifts to cash and puts

Puru Saxena, investment commentator and ex-fund manager at FinTwit, reports that his portfolio has been gradually raising cash and has now started buying put options to protect against riskier long positions.

According to Puru Saxena, the current stock market rally appears mature, with increased odds of turbulence expected in late summer or early autumn. The shift in strategy underscores a more cautious approach amid growing concerns about market volatility.

Earlier this year, Saxena stated that maintaining discipline and patience during investment drawdowns is essential for long-term growth, according to a previous commentary. He also recently highlighted that the semiconductor index was trading more than 60% above its 40-week moving average, citing stretched conditions in that sector in a separate analysis. These observations come as he pivots to a more defensive portfolio strategy.
