The U.S. is headed for a major debt crisis due to its fiscal deficit being at the "worst structural point since World War II," according to value investor Matthew McLennan.
Over the past two decades, the federal government had its smallest budget deficit of $0.16 trillion in 2007, just before the global financial crisis.
The hedge Given his bearish view, McLennan prefers gold as an investment hedge.
Stocks Beyond gold, McLennan said he sees value in stocks like Meta and Oracle , two of the top equity holdings in the Global Fund.
McLennan said his fund has owned Oracle since it launched an AI-powered database five years ago.
