"Horos leveraged Q1 2026 market volatility from AI disruption, private credit stress, and Iran war to rebalance portfolios toward higher return potential. Despite modest quarterly performance, strategic moves included adding Booking Holdings post-AI selloff and increasing energy exposure via TGS."
Horos Asset Management navigated Q1 2026 market volatility driven by three major uncertainty sources: artificial intelligence disruption, private credit sector tensions, and Iran war energy impacts. While fund returns were modest (Horos Value Internacional -2.6%, Horos Value Iberia 0.7%, Horos Patrimonio 0.2%), the management team leveraged sector divergences to significantly rebalance portfolios toward higher upside potential. Key moves included adding Booking Holdings after AI-driven selloffs, increasing energy exposure through TGS and Constellation Oil Services amid geopolitical supply risks, and selective positioning in asset managers like Exor and Antin Infrastructure Partners. The manager emphasizes that volatility and time are essential ingredients for sustainable long-term returns, with their 14-year track record demonstrating 395% cumulative returns (12.3% annualized) for the international strategy. Despite near-term uncertainties, the team maintains conviction in their value investing approach, viewing current market dislocations as opportunities rather than threats to long-term wealth creation.
