"Antipodes Global Value outperformed in volatile Q1 2026, benefiting from value rotation and energy shock. Strategy added defensive exposures while maintaining selective structural themes including AI infrastructure."
Executive Summary
Antipodes Global Value outperformed benchmarks in Q1 2026 despite volatile market conditions driven by Iran-Israel conflict and energy shock. The strategy benefited from value stock rotation away from mega-cap technology and strong performance in energy holdings like TotalEnergies as Brent crude surged 70.9%. Portfolio positioning emphasized defensive exposures through healthcare, infrastructure and consumer staples while maintaining selective exposure to structural themes including AI infrastructure and digitisation. Key contributors included Hyundai Motor on AI/robotics enthusiasm, Valaris on acquisition premium, and Brookdale Senior Living on operational improvements. Software holdings like Microsoft and Salesforce detracted amid sector-wide concerns about AI disruption. New positions included Disney on streaming/experiences strength, NVIDIA on AI infrastructure demand, China Resources Beer on premiumisation trends, Fujifilm on healthcare transformation, and Infineon on power semiconductor leadership. The strategy exited Hyundai Motor after strong rally and trimmed positions in China XD Electric and Daikin. Portfolio maintains defensive ballast while selectively adding to structural investment opportunities.
