"Event-driven strategy continues delivering superior downside protection with minimal drawdowns during market stress. Growth portfolio repositioned around AI infrastructure theme with differentiated exposure versus benchmarks."
LVS Advisory's Event-Driven strategy delivered 4.0% returns in Q1 2026 while demonstrating superior downside protection during market volatility. The strategy experienced only -0.2% maximum drawdown versus -8.9% for the S&P 500, continuing its track record of providing one-third or less of market downside across multiple cycles since 2019. The manager attributes this resilience to diversified portfolios of 25-50 positions, risk-adjusted weightings, and active monitoring. The Growth portfolio has been repositioned around the AI infrastructure theme, maintaining 42% exposure similar to the S&P 500 but with differentiated composition - underweight semiconductors and big tech, overweight power generation and construction. The manager views AI as driving real productivity benefits and sees continued adoption supported by severe infrastructure shortages. While acknowledging risks from political pushback and potential macroeconomic shocks, the firm expects AI to remain the dominant market force and plans to share high-conviction investment opportunities in AI infrastructure.
