"Spheria Global Opportunities outperformed in March despite Middle East tensions, benefiting from timely CF Industries addition as fertilizer supply disruptions boosted prices. Used Intertek weakness as buying opportunity at attractive 12x EBIT valuation."
Spheria Global Opportunities Fund returned -1.9% in March 2026, outperforming the MSCI World Small Cap Index by 2.0% during a month dominated by Middle East conflict escalation. The fund benefited from timely positioning decisions, including adding CF Industries at the start of March as geopolitical tensions disrupted nitrogen fertilizer supply chains through the Strait of Hormuz. CF's North American production base and low-cost feedstock provided structural advantages during the supply disruption. The portfolio faced headwinds from Intertek, which fell sharply despite solid fundamentals, presenting what management views as an attractive opportunity at 12x EBIT for a quality global services business. The fund used market weakness to selectively add to de-rated software positions where overreactions created value opportunities. Management repositioned the portfolio over the past six months, adding energy exposure and focusing on businesses with strong balance sheets and cash generation. The fund maintains conviction in its long-term approach of buying quality businesses at sensible valuations, believing the portfolio is well positioned for future performance.
