The hardest hit corner Friday was the one that had run the furthest: semiconductors. The AI-chip complex that carried the market all year gave back a chunk in a single session as higher-for-longer rates hit the most expensive, longest-duration names first.

What This Means For The Book

We own quality in this space, but we own it sized so a day like Friday is survivable, not catastrophic. When a theme is up this much, the right response to a 4% down day isn't panic — it's the rebalancing discipline we set in advance.
