"TEAM maintained defensive positioning through Q1 geopolitical crisis, keeping multi asset strategies positive year-to-date. Direct oil and soft commodity exposure provided effective hedging against 83% oil price surge from Iran conflict."
TEAM Asset Management navigated Q1 2026's geopolitical turmoil with defensive positioning that kept their multi asset sterling range in positive territory despite market volatility. Operation Epic Fury against Iran and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz triggered an 83% surge in oil prices and unprecedented shifts in interest rate expectations. The manager successfully positioned in energy and commodities while maintaining healthy cash levels. Looking ahead, they continue defensive positioning with direct exposure to oil and soft commodities as buffers against re-escalation risks. The systematic investment process focuses on real assets amid growing global debt concerns and potential higher-for-longer inflation. Key risks include prolonged energy infrastructure damage and potential negotiation breakdowns. Catalysts include potential ceasefire and continued unconventional US fiscal policies. The manager favors ultra short government bonds and maintains liquid alternatives exposure including precious metals, positioning for continued uncertainty while preserving capital and generating positive risk-adjusted returns.
