"The Fund navigated a highly volatile Q1 2026 to deliver a resilient +1.2% return, as strong fixed income performance offset minor drags from equities and commodities."
Executive Summary
The Fairtree Wild Fig Multi Strategy FR RI Hedge Fund returned +1.2% in Q1 2026, navigating a highly volatile and challenging macro environment. Strong performance in fixed income (+1.6%)—specifically driven by the quantitative and fundamental SA bond strategies—successfully offset marginal losses in equities (-0.2%) and commodities (-0.2%). March was a particularly strong period of capital preservation, with the Fund limiting drawdowns compared to the steep correction in the JSE All Share Index. Geopolitical risks in the Middle East and sticky inflation remain key challenges on the horizon.
