"Jemekk delivered 3.7% in Q1 2026, outperforming during Iran conflict volatility. The fund targets four Canadian themes: Defense spending reaching 5% GDP, Build Canada infrastructure, Resources especially precious metals, and Healthcare."
Executive Summary
Jemekk Hedge Fund posted a positive 3.7% return in Q1 2026 despite significant market volatility from the Iran conflict that shut down 20% of global oil production. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 (-4.4%) while matching the TSX (+3.9%), benefiting from Canada's resource-rich economy. The managers maintain an optimistic outlook on Canadian equities, noting that US market valuations have contracted from 23x to 19x P/E while Canadian multiples remain attractive in the mid-teens. The portfolio is positioned across four core themes: Defense spending driven by Canada's commitment to reach 5% of GDP by 2035, Build Canada infrastructure investment supported by government initiatives, Resources particularly precious metals which increased in weight during the quarter, and Healthcare targeting aging demographics. Key new positions include Telesat benefiting from satellite industry growth and government backing, and CAE leveraging defense spending and pilot training demand. The fund added Discovery Silver and Troilus Gold, shifting toward smaller-cap precious metals names. Despite geopolitical risks from the ongoing Middle East conflict, the managers view any weakness as buying opportunities while maintaining high exposure levels and staying nimble given market volatility.
