"Green Alpha's Next Economy strategy outperformed during Q1 2026's Iran war and tariff-driven disruptions by owning energy transition and AI infrastructure leaders rather than fossil fuel-dependent companies. Key holdings TSMC and Brookfield Renewable delivered breakthrough 2nm chip production and record clean energy deals respectively."
Executive Summary
Green Alpha's Next Economy Growth & Income strategy delivered outperformance during Q1 2026's cascading disruptions, validating their thesis of investing in companies solving systemic risks rather than creating them. The Iran war closed the Strait of Hormuz, pushing oil past $126 and disrupting 20% of global oil trade, while tariff policies imposed an average $1,500 tax increase per household. Against this backdrop, the portfolio's focus on energy transition, semiconductor leadership, and AI infrastructure proved resilient. Top holdings include TSMC, which achieved 70-80% yields on revolutionary 2nm chips, and Brookfield Renewable, which secured landmark power deals with Microsoft and Google totaling 13.5 GW. The manager views these disruptions as structural validation of the energy transition thesis, accelerating substitution away from fossil fuel dependency. With global renewable investment reaching $2.2 trillion in 2025 and road fuel demand peaking globally, the portfolio is positioned for the largest capital reallocation in economic history. The firm remains constructive, citing the strongest structural tailwinds in their history.
