Manager commentary - March 2026
The conflict in Iran became the primary market driver in March, fuelling uncertainty over supply chain and energy stability. Equity markets sold off, energy prices surged, and inflation concerns returned. Bonds failed to act as a hedge and suffered, as market sentiment shifted to potential rate hikes. Commodities posted gains. All fund assets of equities, property, bonds, alternatives and gold were negative in March, while only cash was positive. Sentinel reduced risk during the month by reducing equity exposure as volatility rose. Tactically, a decision was made to increase exposure to cash rather than bonds.
