Manager commentary - March 2026
A challenging month as the Iranian conflict created a risk off environment. Weaker equity markets and higher volatility meant the fund's downside protection strategy (index put options) meaningfully contributed. Dividend equity holdings delivered negative returns, but outperformed dividend growth and quality indices. Energy was the only global equity sector to post gains in March. Alternative exposures, notably, the fund's commodity holding continued to add value. Fixed income was a marginal drag as markets priced a shift to more hawkish central bank policy due to oil driven inflation.
