"Credit fund navigated March 2026's Iran conflict-driven energy shock through tactical short positioning on oil-sensitive issuers and reduced financial AT1 exposure. While broad market stress weighed on long positions, strategic shorts in industrials and financials provided partial offset."
Amundi Chenavari Credit Fund delivered -1.09% net performance in March 2026, driven by Corporate (-55bps) and Financials (-61bps) strategies. The Iran conflict escalation created a defining macro shock, with oil markets experiencing dramatic volatility as Brent crude surged over 7% in a single day and peaked at $119/bbl. This energy shock fed into inflation expectations, triggering synchronized selloffs across global equities and bonds. European markets were particularly affected due to higher energy exposure, with the high yield benchmark declining -2.35% and spreads widening over 50bp. The manager tactically increased shorts on energy-sensitive issuers and reduced AT1 exposure, particularly in Greek banks and low-reset instruments where extension risk appeared underpriced. Key long positions like Advanz Pharma and Virgin Media O2 detracted from performance, while shorts including Constellium and Lufthansa contributed positively. The strategy profitably exited Sabre following Constellation Software's strategic interest, capturing bonds' rally from mid-70s to high-80s.
