I always strive to fully exploit the Fund’s dynamic nature. The return of inflation is the return of the economic cycle where truly active management will stand out even more as the recent years have shown.

Market environment

  • March 2026 was a clear risk-off month for global equities. The main catalyst was the escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict, which pushed oil sharply higher, revived inflation fears and lifted yields.
  • In this context, central banks have adopted a more cautious stance, with investors now anticipating three rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of the year, and no longer expecting any easing from the Federal Reserve.
  • The first inflation data for the eurozone showed an initial impact of the conflict, with consumer prices rising by +2.5% year-on-year in March compared to +1.9% at the end of February while in the US, economic data remain resilient, both in the labor market and in leading indicators.
  • The selloff was broad-based but uneven: U.S. equities entered a sharp correction, Europe posted its worst month since 2022, and Emerging Markets recorded the deepest drawdowns.
  • Asian and European markets underperformance reflect their higher sensitivity to energy supply risks, with Korea emerging as the weakest market.
  • Energy was the only sector to deliver positive returns, while all other major sectors declined.
  • The technology sector remained under pressure due to the sharp rise in bond yields, although it was no longer the main driver of the overall market weakness.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the fund delivered a negative performance, while nevertheless outperforming both its reference indicator and global equity markets over the period.
  • This relative resilience reflects active hedging strategies across US, European and emerging markets, which helped mitigate downside risks, with an average net equity exposure of 33% over the period.
  • Our absolute performance was primarily impacted by the decline in equity markets, notably through the underlying fund Carmignac Investissement.
  • The main detractor was our technology exposure, particularly SK Hynix and SK Square. Although Korean memory manufacturers have limited exposure to rising energy prices, their share prices corrected significantly due to profit-taking following strong gains since the beginning of the year. TSMC also declined over the month.
  • In addition, the underweight in the energy sector weighed on the performance of the master fund over the period.

Outlook strategy

  • Looking ahead, uncertainty is likely to remain elevated as long as tensions in the Middle East persist, with market dispersion expected to stay high. At this stage, markets appear to be pricing in an inflation shock, but not yet a meaningful slowdown in growth. The duration of the conflict will be key, as a prolonged disruption could increase the risk of more persistent economic damage.
  • Any market dislocation unconnected to underlying fundamentals can create an attractive entry point. More broadly, we remain tilted towards high-quality factors while maintaining a cautious stance on the portfolio’s overall valuation.
  • As a feeder fund of Carmignac Investissement, the strategy benefits from the same equity engine and leverages Kristofer Barrett’s rigorous stock selection.
  • At the same time, we continue to actively manage net equity exposure, maintaining a cautious stance in the short term given the highly volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.
  • We also remain ready to swiftly increase equity exposure in order to capture a potential market rebound.
