"ACATIS delivered resilient performance during March 2026's Iran war volatility through strategic oil and commodity positioning. The value-focused approach identified opportunities in AI infrastructure, fertilizer supply disruptions, and nuclear renaissance themes."
Executive Summary
ACATIS navigated a challenging March 2026 marked by the Iran war, which created massive commodity shortages and market volatility. The firm's prescient positioning in oil and chemical stocks before the conflict, including Petrobras, Vista Energy, and Halliburton, helped offset broader market weakness. Key themes driving performance include the AI infrastructure build-out benefiting Aixtron, fertilizer supply disruptions favoring Yara, and the nuclear renaissance supporting uranium investments through Cameco. The manager maintains a value-oriented approach, finding opportunities with P/E ratios of 10-15 in select sectors while managing geopolitical risks. New additions include Kraft Heinz at attractive valuations and Chinese companies like Xiaomi following significant price corrections. Silver and gold positions reflect concerns about currency debasement and strategic reserve building. Looking ahead, the manager expects the Middle East conflict to resolve by mid-2026, potentially normalizing commodity markets. The strategy emphasizes patient capital deployment during volatile periods, with regular savings plans positioned to benefit from current attractive entry points across quality companies.
