Market environment

  • March marked a turning point for markets, as escalating tensions in the Middle East and disruptions to key energy supply routes triggered a sharp rise in oil prices. This shock reignited inflation concerns and challenged the previously dominant disinflation narrative.
  • The resulting environment is more complex: higher inflation combined with weakening growth momentum has increased the risk of a stagflationary dynamic. 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.
  • Sovereign yields rose sharply in both the US and Europe, with particularly strong moves at the 2-year maturity reflecting higher inflation expectations, while the US dollar strengthened, supported by elevated rates and its safe-haven status.
  • Global equity markets declined massively (from -7 to -15%) as risk aversion increased, with a continued rotation away from growth, particularly AI-exposed names, toward energy, cyclicals, and more defensive sectors. Europe and emerging markets underperformed, given their greater sensitivity to higher energy prices.
  • More broadly, volatility increased as geopolitical developments took precedence over fundamentals. Oil prices surged amid rising tensions, while gold experienced a sharp correction, driven by stronger real yields and US dollar appreciation.
  • Credit markets remained relatively resilient overall, although spreads began to widen moderately, and concerns around private credit and technology exposure became more apparent.

Performance commentary

  • The fund ended the month in negative territory but outperformed its benchmark.
  • Unsurprisingly, the decline in European equities was the main detractor from performance, affecting both our quality stock selection and our diversification assets.
  • The broad-based and indiscriminate sell-off in European markets weighed more heavily on the portfolio as we have limited exposure to energy stocks and a higher allocation to industrial names, which underperformed in a more challenging growth environment.
  • That said, the sale of our gold exposure proved beneficial, as it was executed ahead of the sharp decline in the metal.
  • On rates, our short positions on short-term yields, particularly through options, generated gains at a time when bond markets were also under pressure.
  • Similarly, our credit protection strategies (CDS) helped mitigate the widening in credit spreads and offset part of the decline in broader risk assets.

Outlook strategy

  • Markets remain highly unreadable, as they are largely driven by geopolitical decisions that can shift rapidly.
  • In our view, short-term inflation risks now appear mostly priced in, but markets may be underestimating the risk of a growth slowdown in certain countries and sectors.
  • That said, European equity markets seem to have corrected more sharply than their peers. In this context, we maintain a net equity exposure of 30–40%, with the flexibility to increase it quickly through options.
  • We also took advantage of the recent sell-off and heightened volatility to increase exposure to sectors that appear overly penalized and could rebound in the event of a de-escalation, such as Euro Stoxx banks.
  • On rates, we took profits on short-duration positions during the month and initiated long exposure to European short-term rates, bringing our modified duration to around 3.
  • On credit, we continue to maintain significant protection on high yield, as current spread levels appear too complacent given the risks associated with higher commodity prices, growth concerns, and tensions in private credit.
  • Finally, we reintroduced a smaller tactical position in gold at the end of the month, after having reduced exposure to zero earlier in March.
