Commentary

As of 31 March 2026

Market Overview

  • The quarter had a strong start with broadening leadership and rotation away from mega-cap technology stocks, before sentiment reversed sharply in late February and early March. This shift came about due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with the conflict intensifying following U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Iran and subsequent interruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

  • Value, small caps, energy, materials, defensives (healthcare, staples, utilities), and commodity-tilted sectors outperformed, while growth/tech lagged. Some de-escalation hopes provided a modest bounce towards quarter-end but was not enough to offset losses.

Fund Highlights

  • The fund returned -11.67% for the quarter, underperforming the benchmark which returned -2.42%.

     

  • Positive contributors to performance over the quarter included Curtiss-Wright Corporation, ASM International and Linde plc.

     

  • The energy sector was unequivocally the standout performer of the quarter, with energy equities rising by more than a third and outperforming global equities by 35%. Given our zero exposure to the sector, this represented the single largest headwind to relative performance over the period.

     

  • Negative contributors to performance included HDFC Bank Limited, Trip.com Group and Microsoft Corporation.
