Strategy of the Month: September 2025

‍

Why Sitting Out Can Be Just as Profitable as Sitting In.....

September was another month where global equities hovered near record highs. For most long-only investors, that meant a modest tick in the right direction. A comforting statement for their quarterly reports.

But here’s the question: did they match what TPP delivered?

The answer, unsurprisingly, is no.

At TPP, all four of our strategy families performed well in September.

• Trackers beat their benchmarks.
• Hybrids timed entries and exits with precision.
• Actives capitalised on the swings.
• But the real stars of the show were our Long or Flats.

‍

Why Long or Flats Deserve the Spotlight:

The “Long or Flat” strategies are built differently. They don’t sit in the market 24/7, riding every gyration. They wait. They stalk. They act only when the probability stacks up in their favour.

This means:

• They avoid unnecessary exposure.
• They deliver high-probability trades.
• And when the time is right, they strike with precision.

September was a textbook example.

‍

Strategy Highlights:

🔹 Hybrids

• Hybrid Nasdaq: +7.4%
  A strategy that blends active timing with passive exposure, and this month it nailed its entries.

🔹 Actives

• LS Active: +6.9%
  Proved that volatility isn’t something to fear, it’s something to profit from.

🔹 Trackers

• FTSE Leveraged Tracker: +2.6%
  A steady outperformance of the benchmark.

🔹 Long or Flats (the stars)

• LoF FTSE Tech Entry: +4% (solid, consistent, disciplined).
• LoF CAC Tech Entry: +10.6% — the standout. BOSH.

Three entry points.
Three exit points.
Double-digit profit in a single month.

That’s the advantage of not being forced to sit in the market for every rise and fall. The CAC strategy had incredible patience and timing over the last month.

‍

Why This Matters for Investors:

Right now, the market climate feels… toppy.
Equities are priced for perfection. Bond yields remain elevated. Property markets are seizing up. And many investors are asking: How much longer can this rally last?

Traditional long-only portfolios have no answer. They just hold and hope.

But at TPP, our strategies are designed to adapt. They can be in when the opportunity is strong, and out when the risks are too high. That flexibility is why our clients sleep easier at night, and why results like September’s are possible.

‍

What’s Next?

While September’s Strategy of the Month clearly belongs to the CAC Tech Entry Long or Flat (+10.6%), the bigger prize is still to come.

👉 Keep a close eye on Strategy of the Quarter, which we’ll be announcing in the coming week. It should be a corker.

Final Word From Us:

Most investors are still stuck in the old model, paying fees to sit in the market through every high and every crash. At TPP, we think differently. We believe in transparency, adaptability, and performance that speaks for itself.

If you’re serious about protecting and growing your portfolio, maybe it’s time to see what TPP can do for you.
