"Iran war creates unprecedented 10m b/day oil supply shock requiring demand destruction at $125-150/bl. Energy sector outperformed with 36.9% YTD returns while broader markets declined."
The Iran war has created the largest oil supply disruption in history, with closure of the Strait of Hormuz cutting 20m b/day of oil exports. After accounting for pipeline diversions and strategic inventory releases, the net supply shock is 10m b/day, far exceeding previous crises. This requires demand destruction through higher prices, potentially reaching $125-150/bl. The MSCI World Energy Index rose 11.6% in March while broader markets fell 6.4%, with year-to-date energy returns of 36.9%. The fund's strongest performers included Equinor, Repsol, Eni, BP and Valero. Using $90/bl Brent assumptions for 2026-27, the fund's earnings per share would rise 65%, bringing the PE ratio to 13x versus the MSCI World's 20x. With long-term oil prices of $80/bl, energy equities still offer 20% upside. The managers maintain their view that OPEC will defend reasonable oil prices while the supply disruption fundamentally alters energy market dynamics.
