"Iran war volatility created attractive entry points across defensive themes. Value outperformed growth as energy prices spiked, but technology multiples compressed to attractive levels."
Chilton Capital navigated a volatile first quarter where markets initially reached new highs in January before the Iran war caused significant pullback, with the S&P 500 ending down 4.4%. The conflict spiked oil prices over 50% and introduced meaningful risks to global growth, particularly affecting Asia and Europe due to their oil import dependence. Market leadership shifted dramatically as value stocks in Energy and Materials outperformed growth names in Technology, while the equal weight S&P 500 outperformed the cap-weighted index. The firm maintains that technology valuations have become attractive despite multiple contraction, positioning these sectors for rebounds when expected growth materializes. Key investment themes include defense spending driven by security risks, continued AI infrastructure despite near-term uncertainty, and commercial real estate where significant M&A activity is expected. The team actively used market volatility to upgrade portfolios while maintaining balanced positioning. Looking forward, a more tempered mid-single-digit return outlook seems appropriate given geopolitical uncertainty, though strong earnings fundamentals remain intact once the conflict resolves.
