"Bell Global Equities underperformed in March as Middle East conflict drove oil to $120 and broad risk-off sentiment. AI disruption fears continued pressuring quality strategies despite fund's AI beneficiary holdings."
Bell Global Equities Fund declined 3.1% in March, underperforming the MSCI World ex-Australia Index by 0.6% as Middle East conflict escalation drove broad market volatility. The forced closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent crude oil to $120 per barrel, triggering inflation concerns and stagflation fears. The fund's structural Energy underweight was the primary performance headwind, while AI disruption narratives continued pressuring quality-oriented strategies with indiscriminate selling across perceived AI-exposed sectors. Portfolio activity remained elevated with new positions in TE Connectivity, Nomura Research Institute, and MercadoLibre, while Nike and Old Dominion Freight Line were sold due to deteriorating risk-reward profiles. Deutsche Boerse was a standout performer, benefiting from increased volatility driving trading volumes in its derivatives franchise. Despite near-term challenges, management sees improving opportunities across high-quality dislocated businesses and remains confident in their Quality at a Reasonable Price approach, believing current market dispersion will provide the foundation for stronger future returns.
