Billionaire Chris Rokos Thrives Amid Market Turmoil with Smart Stock Picks
London, England – Billionaire Chris Rokos has demonstrated impressive resilience in the financial markets, recently gaining 4.5% in early April 2025 despite high volatility caused by Trump’s tariffs.
Rokos Capital Management, co-founded by Rokos in 2015, holds approximately $20 billion in assets under management. The firm has shown an ability to profit regardless of market conditions. In November 2024, following Donald Trump’s election victory, Rokos reportedly earned nearly $1 billion in a single day, marking a standout trading performance for the company.
After ending the year with 31% returns, Rokos Capital has continued its upward trajectory into 2025, showing an 8% gain by mid-April. Observers noted that many hedge funds struggled during a recent sell-off, but Rokos maintained profitable positions.
The performance came amidst a broader market drop on May 5, 2025, where the S&P 500 and other indices saw declines, influenced by concerns over trade tariffs.
Market strategist Jed Ellerbroek commented, “The market is intensely focused on where the tariff rates end up, and it’s bouncing around day to day.” Meanwhile, Tom DeMark predicted a potential bear market, warning, “Stocks are vulnerable right now and can easily get hit pretty badly.”
Rokos Capital is now focused on stock picks with high upside potential. In its latest report, the fund’s analysts suggested several technology companies, including NVIDIA Corporation, anticipated to profit from the ongoing AI boom.
NVIDIA recently maintained its leadership in the AI chip market despite trade uncertainties, with CEO Jensen Huang urging U.S. lawmakers to reconsider export restrictions on AI technology to strengthen the country’s position in the market.
Meanwhile, Astera Labs, part of Rokos Capital’s portfolio, reported record earnings for Q1 2025, showcasing robust demand for its AI connectivity solutions. Despite some analysts downgrading the stock, the company’s growth prospects in the AI sector appear strong.
