Third Point returned -0.6% in Q1 2026, outperforming the S&P 500 by approximately 400bps during a turbulent quarter marked by the Iran War and resulting 70% oil price spike. The fund had a strong start with diversified gains in semiconductors, power infrastructure, and aerospace positions before geopolitical turmoil and private credit unwinds impacted markets. Key winners included MasTec, Siemens Energy, and Keysight Technologies, while losers included CoStar Group, from which they fully exited after management continued investing in the failing Homes.com venture. The fund initiated a position in Spanish defense champion Indra Sistemas, benefiting from Spain's commitment to increase defense spending to 2% of GDP. Their single-name short book performed well, returning 7% gross by capitalizing on housing affordability issues, GLP-1 impact on consumer staples, and AI disruption of service industries. Despite recent exposure increases, they maintain a defensive posture while preparing for various outcomes from ongoing geopolitical conflicts and their economic implications.
Third Point employs an event-driven strategy across equity long/short, corporate credit, and structured credit, focusing on companies undergoing significant changes while maintaining defensive positioning during periods of geopolitical and market uncertainty.
The fund is prepared for a wide range of outcomes depending upon the course of the conflict in Iran and oil price movements. Despite recent increases in exposure, they maintain a relatively defensive posture. They expect continued growth in demand for compute power and are investing when prices are appealing. They remain concerned about the timing of substantial US workforce restructuring.

AIAI is creating incremental deflation across service categories and weakening entrenched business models. The rise of agents combined with access to consumer data is driving these changes. AI fears have impacted private credit portfolios, particularly those exposed to software companies. |

Private CreditPrivate credit has been a victim of AI fears with typical portfolios disproportionately exposed to software. Many high-profile funds have been unable to meet surging investor redemptions. A growing percentage (6.4%) of private credit is already paying interest in kind although that was not part of the original loan structure. |

GLP1The continued democratization of GLP-1s on price, access and form factor has continued to erode demand for spirits and other staples historically supported by unhealthy consumption. It is also creating durable headwinds for a range of medical device businesses relying on obesity and poor lifestyles. |

OilOil represents the cheapest major asset class globally, trading at near-record lows relative to gold despite balanced fundamentals. The closure of the Straits of Hormuz has created the largest supply shock in industry history, with 20 million barrels per day disrupted. Non-OPEC supply growth is slowing dramatically, with U.S. shale production plateauing outside the Permian Basin. |

Natural GasNatural gas ranks in the 99.5th percentile of historical undervaluation relative to equities. U.S. production growth has concentrated entirely in the Permian Basin, with other shale regions declining. Once the Permian's current gas production surge runs its course, supply growth should plateau and eventually decline, setting the stage for materially higher prices. |
Henry Hub LNG Permian Shale Gas | |
CommoditiesThe commodity bull market has barely begun, with most commodities trading 46% below historical nominal peaks and 73% below real peaks when adjusted for inflation. Commodities are trading near the lowest levels relative to equities observed in more than a century, suggesting the cycle is in early innings rather than late stages. |

SilverSilver surged 51% in Q4 and over 140% for the full year, staging a dramatic catch-up rally relative to gold.

The rally mirrors the explosive 1979 move that signaled the end of the great gold bull market. |

Platinum Group MetalsPGMs continued their powerful advance with platinum and palladium each surging 28% in Q4. Policy reversals in both the U.S. and Europe are unwinding the aggressive push toward electric vehicles, with the Trump administration repealing California's emissions standards and the EU stepping back from its ICE ban. This undermines the bearish narrative that assumed rapid ICE vehicle decline. |

CopperCopper gained 17% in Q4 and 41% for the year, but modeling suggests the market has moved back into surplus. Exchange inventories have risen to approximately 1.2 million tonnes, levels last seen in 2003 when copper traded below $0.90 per pound. The persistent rise in inventories reflects the shift from deficit to surplus conditions. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| MTZ | MasTec Inc. was one of the top five winners for the quarter. |
| ENR.DE | Siemens Energy AG was one of the top five winners for the quarter. |
| KEYS | Keysight Technologies Inc. was one of the top five winners for the quarter. |
| CRS | Carpenter Technology Inc was one of the top five winners for the quarter. |
| CASY | Caseys General Stores Inc was one of the top five winners for the quarter. |
| CSGP | CoStar Group Inc. was one of the top five losers for the quarter, excluding hedges. Last year we invested in CoStar with a simple thesis: value in the company's core commercial business could be unlocked by improving a deficient board that for years had blessed large investments in a failing venture, Homes.com. Despite our efforts, CEO Andy Florance has continued what can only be seen as a reckless drain on a majority of the company's operating income into Homes.com and related acquisitions even as the share price has continued to plummet. It appears to us that Mr. Florance's obsession with Homes.com has diverted attention from core business areas, calling into question management's ability to maintain a competitive edge in Apartments.com and the CoStar Suite in a rapidly changing market and with no apparent plan for a world increasingly shaped by AI. We no longer believe that our original thesis holds true today and have disposed of our position in its entirety. |
| COF | Capital One Financial Corp. was one of the top five losers for the quarter, excluding hedges. |
| AMZN | Amazon.com Inc was one of the top five losers for the quarter, excluding hedges. |
| CRH | CRH PLC was one of the top five losers for the quarter, excluding hedges. |
| IDR.MC | We initiated a position in Indra Sistemas, an emerging national defense champion in Spain, in 2025. While Spain still consistently underspends on defense compared to NATO targets, it has committed to increasing defense spend as a percentage of GDP from ~1.4% to ~2% and to allocating most of this to local companies. Indra has, in our assessment, emerged as the national champion thanks to its unparalleled deep technical expertise in radar systems, counter-drone systems, military simulators, cyber and space while also acting as a systems integrator on major European programs. The company reported stellar Fourth Quarter earnings at the end of February and showed a defense backlog that nearly quadrupled year-over-year. Of the 31 special modernization projects (PEMs) the Spanish government allocated in the back half of 2025, Indra won allocations on 29. Management commented that they expect a similar level of PEMs in 2026, implying Indra could exit the year with a backlog approaching €20 billion, up from just €3 billion exiting 2024. The company is also performing well outside of its defense business, with Minsait (IT Services/AI/Cyber) growing double digits on the back of double-digit backlog growth, and major recent wins in Air Traffic Management and Mobility with the FAA and London Underground, respectively. Indra is scheduled to host an analyst day during 2Q, and we would not be surprised to see the management team bring forward 2030 financial targets to 2029. While a recent standoff between the Spanish government and Indra's former Executive Chairman – who was considering the sale of his family's privately owned defense business to Indra – created boardroom drama and volatility in the stock, we see a path to a constructive resolution and remain confident in the Company's trajectory towards market consolidation and continued consistent execution. We believe this will benefit shareholders, employees and the Spanish state. Indra remains in our analysis one of the fastest growing defense companies in Europe, yet trades at half the multiple of peers. We see substantial upside ahead. |
